Re: solving for multiple matrices

Both X and Y matrices represent a simple translation and rotation. For the  
case of the Y matrix, the translation part will likely to be very small,  
so I could probably pretend it's only rotation.

What I would really like though, is to find a solution, where I could use  
more than two equations, eg:
A1 = X * B1 * Y
A2 = X * B2 * Y
A3 = X * B3 * Y
...
An = X * Bn * Y

And then compute a least squares solution from this over-constrained  
system.
BTW, when I said that I'm looking for an analytical solution, I just meant  
something that is not based on an iterative approach. As long as I can get  
to a part where I have to solve a large system of over-constrained linear  
equations, I'm home. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make this linear..
