Motion Recovery from Image Sequences: Discrete Viewpoint vs. Differential Viewpoint

The aim of this paper is to explore intrinsic geometric methods of recovering the three dimensional motion of a moving camera from a sequence of images. Generic similarities between the discrete approach and the differential approach are revealed through a parallel development of their analogous motion estimation theories.
