Given feature points <math>\mathbf{x}</math> and <math>\mathbf{x'}</math> from two images,
the essential matrix satisfies the equation <math>\mathbf{x}'^T \mathbf{E} \mathbf{x} = 0</math>
the essential matrix satisfies the equation <math>\mathbf{x}'^T \mathbf{E} \mathbf{x} = 0</math>
==Derivation==
Given feature points <math>\mathbf{x}</math> and <math>\mathbf{x'}</math> from two images,
we can relate them with a rotation <math>\mathbf{R}</math> and a translation <math>\mathbf{t}</math>
such that <math>(\mathbf{R}\mathbf{x} + \mathbf{t}) = x'</math>.
