[Bf-committers] GSoC 2016: Finish multi-camera reconstruction

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

It is definitely Structure-from-Motion, was just a typo. Fixed now.

Term "witness camera" is a commonly used in VFX industry. Briefly: the
scene is being shot by multiple cameras, one of the cameras are used for
the finals (footage from it goes to a final film), others are only used to
gather more information for solver to avoid ambiguities.

For getting Blender compiled, did you check
