First steps towards bundle adjustment


The white points are triangulated from the correspondences in the first two video frames. The red shows the two camera positions. Green are from adding data from the third image. The third camera position is farther ahead because 3 frames are skipped in the video sequence.

This was done with three rectified jpeg images. When added to the Ladybug program, it will find correspondences from the raw images (higher resolution) and then project those points to the rectified position. This uses the camera intrinsics produced through the Ladybug API.
