 * Description: Compute the absolute pose of a camera using three 3D-to-2D correspondences
 *   Reference: A Novel Parametrization of the P3P-Problem for a Direct Computation of
 *              Absolute Camera Position and Orientation
 *
 *       Input: featureVectors: 3x3 matrix with UNITARY feature vectors (each column is a vector)
 *              worldPoints: 3x3 matrix with corresponding 3D world points (each column is a point)
 *              solutions: 3x16 matrix that will contain the solutions
 *                         form: [ 3x1 position(solution1) 3x3 orientation(solution1) 3x1 position(solution2) 3x3 orientation(solution2) ... ]
 *                         the obtained orientation matrices are defined as transforming points from the cam to the world frame
 *      Output: int: 0 if correct execution
 *                  -1 if world points aligned
