Initialization-Free Bundle Adjustment Revisited: A Controlled Experimental Study
Initialization-free bundle adjustment (InitFree BA) aims to recover camera poses and scene structure directly from image observations, avoiding the geometric initialization stages of conventional structure-from-motion pipelines. Recent methods based on Object-Space Error (OSE) formulations and Variable Projection (VarPro) show encouraging optimization behavior from random camera configurations. However, existing evaluations primarily measure optimization success, leaving unclear whether a low OSE objective yields a valid metric 3D reconstruction. We revisit InitFree BA experimentally through a
