I found this old blog on my Destkop (it is about a week dated, but I wanted to post it so I can delete the file).

The quality of the papers at ICCV 2009 is amazing!  This morning there were a couple talks on geometry that were especially interesting to me.   One of them brings together much of the research in the last several years to allow efficient distributed reconstruction of city size scenes from unordered photo collections (Reconstructing Rome in a Day).

Yasu Furukawa’s recent reconstruction results are also very impressive.
The Microsoft research group never ceases to impress.
