Given two corresponding point sets:
$$ \begin{array}{l} X=\left\{x_{1}, \ldots, x_{N_{x}}\right\} \\ P=\left\{p_{1}, \ldots, p_{N_{p}}\right\} \end{array} $$
$$ E(R, t)=\frac{1}{N_{p}} \sum_{i=1}^{N_{p}}\left\|x_{i}-R p_{i}-t\right\|^{2} $$
If the correct correspondences are known, the correct relative rotation/translation can be calculated in closed form.
$$ \mu_{x}=\frac{1}{N_{x}} \sum_{i=1}^{N_{x}} x_{i} \text { and } \mu_{p}=\frac{1}{N_{p}} \sum_{i=1}^{N_{p}} p_{i} $$
