            Abstract : 
In this paper, a 3D Euclidean position estimator using a single moving calibrated camera whose position is known is developed that asymptotically recovers the structure of a static object. To estimate the unknown structure an adaptive least squares estimation strategy is employed based on a novel prediction error formulation and a Lyapunov stability analysis. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
