In all the original matching features, including inliers and outliers, displacements are collected, the fact being that the displacement for inliers and outliers between frames is fitted with a Laplacian distribution with a long tail, as shown in Figure 5.
The former is obtained considering the large number of inliers using the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) algorithm (Zisserman & Hartley, 2004).
While the recursion proceeds, the inliers of [D.sub.X] populate progressively S(m).
