Abstract

Two point sets { pi } and { p’i }; i = 1, 2, … … …, N are related by p’i= Rpi+ T + Ni, where R is a rotation matrix, T a translation vector, and Ni a noise vector. Given {pi} and { p’i }, we present an algorithm for finding the least-squares solution of R and T, which is based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a 3 × 3 matrix. This new algorithm is compared to two earlier algorithms with respect to computer time requirements.
