Bundle adjustment is a process used in photogrammetry and computer vision to reconstruct 3D environments from camera data. The process involves projecting points from the 3D world into the image plane and correcting for discrepancies between what is seen and where the points are actually mapped to. Bundle adjustment typically uses images from multiple cameras to find known data association and correct for errors.

00:00:00 In this video, Cyrill Stachniss discusses the basics of bundle adjustment, which is a method used in photogrammetry and computer vision to reconstruct 3D environments from camera data. He explains that, in order to perform this task, one needs to estimate 3D information of the scene given a camera appearance and an unlimited number of images. He also discusses why two images are not always sufficient to reconstruct a 3D environment, and how image processing can be used to generate auto photos and orthophotos.
00:05:00 The basics about Bundle Adjustment (Cyrill Stachniss) include the following: stereo setup, two people looking to the front, one looking to the left and one looking to the right, looking to the right and one pair looking backwards and then by moving through the environment, you can perceive the environment at different locations and record those images. Extract features out of those images and estimate the location of your vehicle with respect to those features. Relative orientation plays an important role here and then we can kind of put those things together into a very large least squares problem that we want to solve. In the end, we can perform mapping here at city scale and obtain free point cloud information about all those streets where the vehicle has been driving just based on the camera data. And you can overlay this with maps you can also use it to generate models of the environment and estimate the vehicle within that map of course.
00:10:00 The bundle adjustment technique is used to adjust the position of a camera in order to minimize reprojection error. This error is the discrepancy between what is seen in an image and where a point is actually located in the world. The technique involves projecting points from the 3D world into the image plane, and correcting for discrepancies between what is seen and where the points are actually mapped to.
00:15:00 The author explains the basics of bundle adjustment, which is a process of estimating unknown parameters in a projection equation. Bundle adjustment typically uses images from multiple cameras to find known data association and correct for errors.
00:20:00 Bundle adjustment is a process used to correct calibration parameters for multiple images acquired from a camera. The number of unknowns involved in the process can be quite large, and requires careful consideration during data acquisition.
00:25:00 The basics about bundle adjustment (Cyrill Stachniss) are that a scale factor needs to be taken into account when working in homogeneous coordinates, and that in practice most of the work is done by setting up a system of linear equations. Once the system is solved, the unknown parameters can be updated iteratively.
00:30:00 The Basics about Bundle Adjustment (Cyrill Stachniss) explains how to solve a problem involving estimating the locations of cameras and 3D points in an environment. The video shows an example of how this is done by reconstructing the environment from camera images. The video also discusses the assumptions necessary for the bundle adjustment algorithm to work, and the importance of an initial estimate of the camera locations and 3D points in the environment.
00:35:00 Bundle adjustment solves for the absolute orientation of a camera, using control points to mitigate noise.
00:40:00 Bundle adjustment is a process of correcting errors in photogrammetry by using control points to approximate the geometry of the scene. The process begins with controlling the errors in a set of noisy control points and ends with a statistically optimal solution. The assumptions of the bundle adjustment algorithm are important and should be considered when performing the algorithm.
00:45:00 The Basics about Bundle Adjustment (Cyrill Stachniss) discusses the challenges of estimating the orientation of an object in an environment from a series of images. Outliers can cause errors in the reconstruction, and the process of estimating the orientation of a point from a series of images is coupled with the process of identifying outliers. The author suggests using multiple observations of a point to reduce the chances of an outlier being detected.
00:50:00 In bundle adjustment, one observes a point in an environment and records the position and orientation of a set of nearby points. These points are then used to generate a reconstruction of the point. If the reconstruction does not match the point, then one of the nearby points may be an outlier. To avoid taking an incorrect data association into account, one must have between five and six different observations of a point in order to be confident of the accuracy of the estimate. Additionally, one should move towards robust kernels when approaching a solution as outliers may still exist.
00:55:00 Bundle adjustment is a technique used to correct for errors in image data. This is done by integrating robust kernels into the least squares solution.

Bundle adjustment is a technique used to improve the accuracy of aerial images. The video explains how to place control points at the boundaries of a mapping problem in order to reduce the uncertainty of the resulting data.
