Streamline bundle_adjust stats/IP computation #210

Closed ScottMcMichael closed 5 years ago

ScottMcMichael commented 5 years ago

When processing images with multiple overlapping images duplicate work is performed during statistics/IP computation. This wastes a lot of processing time when dealing with large input images.

Added caching for image statistics and IP in bc0b6b6555c0947e423c95537eeb1eeb5ef04b55. Would still be good to allow more parallel processing.

The new parallel_bundle_adjust tool allows for multiple processes across multiple machines.
