The contributions include a closed-form approximate matrix-weighted solution
for motion and structure from consecutive stereo image pairs, which is better
than existing solutions based on feature points with typical stereo setups;
and a recursive-batch technique for dealing with long stereo image sequences,
which takes advantage of two very different schemes: Kalman filtering and
batch processing.
