Can you use cvCalibrateCamera2 to find the extrinsic relationship between two cameras?

I'm wondering what the possibility of using cvCalibrateCamera2 to find the rotation and translation between 2 cameras is.

Take, for example, the scenario where you have just done a chessboard calibration where the chessboard was viewable to both image planes. If I then pass in those points from one camera as the object_points and the points from the other camera as the image_points would this give me the rotation and translation between the two views?

Also, this spits out several rotation matrices and translation vectors. Which one would I use?

I think StereoCalibrate is probably a better match for your needs. You'll need to provide a set of 2D correspondences as well as both cameras' intrinsics which you already know from the chessboard calibration.
