Bundle Adjustment #354

Hi everyone, I would like to understand how does Bundle Adjustment work ? how keypoints (2D) are converted into Map points (3D)?

Thanks

Two different things.

Mapping is based on known cameras poses (actual and former). Matching features triangulates new 3D points.

Bundle adjustment is a way to improve the map by reducing errors, based on multiple views of the same 3D points.
