[Soc-2016-dev] Week 3 Report - Multiview Reconstruction

Hi,

Quick reply on your questions.

1. What is fundamental difference between autotrack and simple_pipeline?

Simple pipeline was created back in 2011, where there were no plans to do
witness cameras or such. Autotrack was created way later keeping in mind
all the ideas of fully automatic tracking, prediction (which requires
having whole history of track) and such.

At the same time, autotrack API should simple enough so it can be used
instead of current simple_pipeline. SO in a longer term we should port all
bits from simple_pipeline to autotrack.

Don't think regular users can delete them. However, i can delete one for
you if you give a link/
