Bundle Adjustment is the typical last step in almost every algorithm which involve reconstruction of a scene from three or more images. Bundle Adjustment is a non-linear batch optimization where feature locations, camera positions, and intrinsic camera parameters are all optimized at once. Sparse Bundle Adjustment (SBA) refers to algorithms which take advantage of the sparsity, speeding up the computation many, many times. In this example, 67,000 parameters are optimized and the reprojection error is reduced by about 7000% in 2 minutes using a single thread.

Example Code:

Concepts:

  • Bundle Adjustment
  • Multiple Views
  • Scene Reconstruction

Example Code

/**
 * Demonstration for running sparse bundle adjustment in BoofCV. Bundle adjustment is a problem where a
 * a batch optimization is applied to camera pose, camera parameters, and point locations are all optimized.
 * It's the last step in scene reconstruction and is a very important step. In recent years, applying bundle
 * adjustment to very large scale problems has become important.
 *
 * In this example, data from the "Bundle Adjustment in the Large" paper is used. These data sets are often used
 * to compare different bundle adjustment algorithms against each other. Which is why BoofCV provides a parser
 * and camera model for their dataset. The algorithms in BoofCV are in the early stage of development but on more
 * modest problems shows performance that's comparable to Ceres Solver. BoofCV has yet to be applied to what would
 * be now considered a truly large scale problem that takes day(s) to solve.
