Thread: Calculating vanishing points with Linear Algebra.

Calculating vanishing points with Linear Algebra.
I'm trying to calculate the vanishing lines of a picture of a box.
I get that you represent the x,y positions of the vertices as [x, y, 1].
But what does it mean that you obtain a supporting line [a, b, c] with the cross-product of two vertices? What do a, b, and c represent, and what does the cross-multiplying represent?
And how does cross-multiplying two supporting lines return the vanishing point in 3D?
I'm trying to implement this paper on images of a box, with [x, y, 1] being pixels, and I'm doing the above steps to obtain the vanishing lines of each face of the box.

It returns 2D coordinates/lines, as long as you homogenize in each step. see here.
