Abstract

Pose estimation is a problem that occurs in many applications. In machine vision, the pose is often a 2D affine pose. In several applications, a restricted class of 2D affine poses with five degrees of freedom consisting of an anisotropic scaling, a rotation, and a translation must be determined from corresponding 2D points. A closed-form least-squares solution for this problem is described. The algorithm can be extended easily to robustly deal with outliers.
