Hello,

i am using the recoverPose() function in OpenCV but i don't get a symmetrical rotation matrix.
But shouldn't it return a symmetrical rotation matrix? My results are looking like:

R =  0.998585723955729,   0.02348487299776981,  0.04769709270061936;
    -0.02232705043463718, 0.9994464428542043,  -0.02466395517687959, 
    -0.04824991948907295, 0.02356413814160357,  0.9985572976364158;

t = -0.9982022017535427,  
     0.005659929033547541, 
     0.05966849769949602;

I am not aware about any symmetrical constraint for the rotation matrix but I may be wrong. From my knowledge, one property is that the rotation matrix should be orthogonal:

Cross-post as there is already a good answer there...
