Proof. Due to the assumption that the x -axis of
w
lies on n 1 , for every pose of
c
the world y -axis expressed in the camera frame
c
corresponds to e 1 . Consequently,
for every pose of
c
, e 1 and e 2 lie on the same plane

centers having normal vector n Γ ( w ) =[001] T

where z w ( c ) is the z -axis of the world reference frame expressed in the camera

from which (1.17) follows.
Note that, in absence of noise on the image points, Equation 1.17 provides us with
the exact R c w . In the case of noisy data, the estimated R c w will not be, in general,
