Trifocal Tensors with Grassmann-Cayley Algebra

In this paper we study trifocal tensors with Grassmann-Cayley algebra. We propose a new method to derive relations among epipoles, fundamental tensors and trifocal tensors of three pinhole cameras. By this method we can find some new constraints satisfied by trifocal tensors.
