This article deals with the following problem in multiview geometry. Consider that a camera consists on projecting from a point (focus) to a plane. If we have three fixed cameras we can construct the following application: given two lines l1, l2 in the projecting planes of cameras 1 and 2, each one defines a plane upon linking it to its focus; intersect this with the projecting plane of camera 3, and you obtain another line l3. The application is then (l1, l2) 7→ l3, from P2 × P2 to P2. This is equivalent to a tensor, called a trifocal tensor. Now, via a different, algebro-geometric construction, one can define the trifocal variety. Then, this article provides minimal generators of the ideal of this variety. The main result is that the ideal is minimally generated by about 2100 polynomials of degrees 3 to 6. This improves, in a sense, a previous result of 2010 providing equations that cut out the variety set-theoretically, but that do not generate the ideal.
