Summary: 
Existing pose estimation algorithms suffer from either low performance or heavy computation cost. In this letter, we present an approach to improve the attractive algorithm called Orthogonal Iteration. A new form of fundamental equations is derived which reduces the computation cost significantly. And paraperspective camera model is used instead of weak perspective camera model during initialization which improves the stability. Experiment results validate the accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithm and show that its computational complexity is favorably compare to the O(n) non-iterative algorithm.
