Camera 2 is displaced with some rotation <math>R</math> and translation <math>-RT</math>, <math>P' = (R | -RT)</math>.<br>
Any point <math>\mathbf{u} = (u,v,w)^T</math> in camera 1 is represented by an epipolar line in camera 2.<br>
Any point <math>\mathbf{u} = (u,v,w)^T</math> in camera 1 is represented by an epipolar line in camera 2.<br>
Under camera 2, the position of camera 1 is <math>-RT</math> and <math>P' (u,v,w,0)^T = R\mathbf{u}</math> is somewhere on this epipolar line.
