Affine reconstruction from perspective image pairs obtained by a translating camera

The three-dimensional structure of a scene consisting of at least five points whose images are identified in two perspective views obtained by a translating camera, can be reconstructed up to a 3D affine transformation. Hence, a more detailed reconstruction is possible using less information when compared to the results for arbitrary stereo pairs taken with uncalibrated, perspective cameras.
