The Role of Total Least Squares in Motion Analysis

The main goal of this paper is to put well-established techniques for two-view motion analysis in the context of the theory of Total Least Squares and to make clear that robust and reliable motion analysis algorithms cannot be designed without a thorough statistical consideration of the consequences of errors in the input data.
