The epipolar geometry describes the correspondence between different projections of a rigid object. Since the X-ray images in the radioscopy are normally taken as monocular, the epipolar geometry in monocular images is in this paper developed. A linear model for the formation of the X-ray images is firstly used. However, the image intensifier of the radioscopic system presents a curvature, which deforms the X-ray image. Therefore a formation function for the image intensifier is modelled considering its input as a hyperbolic surface. The theory is demonstrated by an experiment of the automotive industry with real data.
