Structure-from-motion is the problem of recovering the motion of a camera and the shape of objects in front of it from the images that the camera produces. If vision is to compute a representation of the world from images, structurefrom-motion is undeniably a central problem. Yet decades of research have shown that this computation is very sensitive to errors in image measurements, both random ...

Other examples of participatory research fr...
