Abstract

We describe a numerical procedure for solving problems involving minimization over the rotation group of quadratic forms which arise in connection with problems of computer vision. The algorithm presented is a sequential quadratic programming method which takes advantage of the special structure of the problem constraints. We conclude by proving that our method is globally convergent.
