Closing the loop
Problem
requires good tracked features as input
Can we use SFM to help track points?
basic idea:  recall form of Lucas-Kanade equation:
with n points in f frames, we can stack into a big matrix
Matrix on RHS has rank <= 3 !!
use SVD to compute a rank 3 approximation
has effect of filtering optical flow values to be consistent
