In applications of egomotion estimation, such as real-time vision-based navigation, one must deal with the double-edged sword of small relative motions between images. On one hand, tracking feature points is easier, while on the other, two-view structure-from-motion algorithms are poorly conditioned due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, we derive a multi-frame structure from motion algorithm for calibrated central panoramic cameras. Our algorithm avoids the conditioning problem by explicitly incorporating the small baseline assumption in the algorithm's design. The proposed algorithm is linear, amenable to real-time implementation, and performs well in the small baseline domain for which it is designed.
