# Chapter 1-2. Introduction and 3D Modelling (two weeks)

it will be reviewed and amended as we go along.

**Dates** 25-26 August + 1-2 September
# Chapter 1-3. Introduction; 3D geometry and projections

**Dates** 21, 24, 28, and 31 August, and 4 and 7 September

# Chapter 4. Feature Tracking

We need to interleave this with material from later blocks to have
project tracker run over midterm.
[Study Technique]() may be a good candidate.

1.  Note from 2021:
    [Study Technique]() should probably be done earlier in the semester
    - In 2022 we have had fragments earlier, but this is still the first deep dive.
3.  [Relative Pose]() is a little messy.  It serves covers two things.
    - triangulation is poorly covered in the textbook and the notes, but the students
      need a recap from basic calculus
    - the essential matrix is preparation for the next session.
4.  Note from 2021: Generally, the preliminary steps of the exploratory exercises should have been
    premade, to save time for the students.
5.  Note from 2021: Algorithm implementation is difficult and require sample solutions
6.  It is necessary to make a write-up and verified demo of the Eight-Point Algorithm.

# Chapter 6 and 11.  Projective Reconstruction (many weeks)

This section is likely to go away, or drastically shortened.
Session 26 is the most relevant one.

*Notes from last year*

1. We can skip [Stratified Reconstruction]()
   and [Partial Scene Information]() 
2. [Distorted Space]()  may be interesting as an introduction to
   inner product spaces.
3. What can we make out of [Real World Reconstruction]()?
# Other Material.
