Some issues on self-calibration and critical motion sequences

This paper is concerned with the problem of selfcalibration. First some general concepts are discussed, then several methods are briefly discussed. In the second part of the paper the problem of critical motion sequences is treated. This problem could cause an important limitation to the practical use of self-calibration. In this context several interesting results are presented. self-calibration, critical motion sequences, absolute conic, ambiguous reconstruction.
