Entering >5 points into "findEssentialMat"?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the relative pose (R, t matrices) of two cameras using two synchronized videos of the same scene viewed from different positions. As input I've selected points of the same object in corresponding frames of both videos, and findEssentialMat needs at least 5.

My question is: what happens if I feed in more than 5 problems? Ideally I'd like to feed in many more points than 5 points and get a more accurate estimate than just 5 points would give. That's what I hope. Otherwise I'd consider finding R,t from many pairs of 5 points of points, then taking the median or mean as the best estimate.

Thanks.
