Abstract. This paper deals with the ego-motion estimation (motion of the camera) from two views. To estimate an ego-motion we have to nd correspondences and we need a calibrated camera. In this paper we solve the problem how to propagate known camera calibration errors into the uncertainty of the motion parameters. We present a linear estimate of the uncertainty in ego-motion based on the uncertainty in the calibration parameters. We show that the linear estimate is very stable.

where E is the essential matrix. The equations above was proposed by Longuett Higgins in 6]. The essential matrix E can be reversely decomposed into the motion parameters using method e.g. by Hartley 2]. If E is estimated correctly, it has rank 2 and its nonzero singular values are equal 6]. Using the singular value decomposition we can factorize E as
1 Introduction
Let us assume to have two images of a static scene captured by the same camera from two di erent viewpoints. Having at least eight corresponding points and knowing the calibration parameters of the camera, the camera motion can be estimated up to a similarity using a linear algorithm. The similarity reconstruction of the scene can also be done. This problem has been solved over years 6, 11]. To calibrate the camera, some of many methods developed for the o -line camera calibration as Tsai's method 10], can be used. In this paper we deal with two views and an innacurately calibrated camera. We use a linear method intended for a calibrated camera to estimate the egomotion. Because of noise in the estimation process, an error analysis is needed. There are two sources of errors: (a) noise in correspondences and (b) noise in the calibration parameters. Weng 11] studied the in uence of the noise on the motion parameters. Florou and Mohr 1] used the statistic approach to study reconstruction errors with respect to the calibration parameters. In our paper, we present a linear algorithm to estimate a credibility of the motion parameters, based on the uncertainty in the calibration parameters.

2.1 Ego-Motion from Point Correspondences
Let the motion between two positions of the camera be desribed by a rotation matrix R and a translation vector t, and let u and u0 be normalized image coordinates of corresponding points, see Figure 1, then the coplanarity constraint can be written as: u0T (t Ru) = 0: (1) Introducing the antisymmetric matrix S containing elements of the translation vector t, we can rewrite the coplanarity constraint above as
