I am aware of the chessboard camera calibration technique, and have implemented it.

If I have 2 cameras viewing the same scene, and I calibrate both simultaneously with the chessboard technique, can I compute the rotation matrix and translation vector between them? How?

If you have the 3D camera coordinates of the corresponding points, you can compute the optimal rotation matrix and translation vector by Rigid Body Transformation
