17-point algorithm is a popular method in relative pose estimation of multi-cameras. However, the role of overlap in 17-point algorithm remains unexplored. And the relaxed way in solving constrained normal equation leads to sub-optimal results. Both of them influence accuracy of the estimated pose. In this paper, we theoretically analyze the influence of overlap and the solvability of 17-point alg...
