Can this technique reconstruct good geometry for the visible parts if only part of the structure is ever imaged?
That's a precursor to: could this technique be used to enhance Street View? There are times when I would really like to be able to "walk around" outdoor scenes in finer steps. Current Street View smears between photos taken some distance apart. (I don't know if that is a limitation of the public interface or if the original data capture is really that coarse.) It would be nice to have a real 3D space to explore, but I certainly don't expect the un-imaged parts to be defined correctly.
Finally, does this also work for reconstructing interior spaces seen from the inside? Like the geometry of a cave, from pictures of the cave interior?
