A method for estimating the speed of movement of a first video camera when it captures a current image of a three-dimensional scene, includes storing a reference image corresponding to an image of the same scene captured by a second video camera in a different pose, the reference image including pixels. The method also includes storing the current image, the current image including pixels containing the measurement of a physical quantity measured by that pixel, that physical quantity being the same as the physical quantity measured by the pixels of the reference image. The method further includes storing for each pixel of the reference image or of the current image the measurement of a depth that separates that pixel from the point of the scene photographed by that pixel, estimating the pose of the first camera, and estimating the speed of movement of the first camera.
