Expressions for x-axis pose and motion are isomorphic to those for y-axis pose and motion.

η is the number of point sources used in the measurement; xi, xk,i, xk+1,i the estimated x coordinate of the ith point in the only image, image k, and image k+1; σi, σk,i, σk+1,i the single-axis uncertainties of the ith point in the only image, image k, and image k+1; ri, rk,i, rk+1,i the estimated r coordinate of the ith point in the only image, image k, and image k+1; θi, θk,i, θk+1,i the estimated θ coordinate of the ith point in the only image, image k, and image k+1; s^i, γ^i the true centroid-offset position of the ith point in polar coordinates; Xu, Xw the uniformly weighted and optimally weighted estimates of x-axis centroid position; Θu, Θw the uniformly weighted and optimally weighted estimates of orientationl; ΔXu, ΔXw the uniformly and optimally weighted estimates of x-axis centroid displacement; ΔΘu, ΔΘw the uniformly weighted and optimally weighted estimates of rotation.
