divisor should be pre-calculated and checked for 0 (eps tolerance) or NaNs.

Or ensure that caller works well with Inf/NaN values and filter them out later.

Hi! Last year, I defended my PhD in Engineering and Applied Science, regarding a thesis which involved huge use of QR Codes, at the time we didn't realize OpenCV had included a curved QR Code decoder, it is amazing the work the community has been done in recent years. In the thesis, we tackled the recovery of QR Codes from curved surfaces using Thin Plate Splines (Chapter 3 of https://diposit.ub.edu/dspace/bitstream/2445/185845/1/IBA_PhD_THESIS.pdf). Is there any paper regarding the implementation here presented of the use of splines to extract the QR Code? If we understand correctly, the above presented method uses the splines to fit the outer contour of the QR Code? We would like to be able to compare our method and the one presented here, and if able to present the research of the comparison and later attempt to make a pull request.

TL;DR: Looking for a paper related with this method.
