    "# Absolute camera orientation given set of relative camera pairs\n",
    "\n",
    "This tutorial showcases the `cameras`, `transforms` and `so3` API.\n",
    "\n",
    "The problem we deal with is defined as follows:\n",
    "\n",
    "Given an optical system of $N$ cameras with extrinsics $\\{g_1, ..., g_N | g_i \\in SE(3)\\}$, and a set of relative camera positions $\\{g_{ij} | g_{ij}\\in SE(3)\\}$ that map between coordinate frames of randomly selected pairs of cameras $(i, j)$, we search for the absolute extrinsic parameters $\\{g_1, ..., g_N\\}$ that are consistent with the relative camera motions.\n",
    "\n",
    "More formally:\n",
    "$$\n",
    "g_1, ..., g_N = \n",
    "{\\arg \\min}_{g_1, ..., g_N} \\sum_{g_{ij}} d(g_{ij}, g_i^{-1} g_j),\n",
    "$$,\n",
    "where $d(g_i, g_j)$ is a suitable metric that compares the extrinsics of cameras $g_i$ and $g_j$. \n",
    "\n",
    "Visually, the problem can be described as follows. The picture below depicts the situation at the beginning of our optimization. The ground truth cameras are plotted in purple while the randomly initialized estimated cameras are plotted in orange:\n",
    "![Initialization](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/data/bundle_adjustment_initialization.png?raw=1)\n",
    "\n",
    "Our optimization seeks to align the estimated (orange) cameras with the ground truth (purple) cameras, by minimizing the discrepancies between pairs of relative cameras. Thus, the solution to the problem should look as follows:\n",
    "![Solution](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/data/bundle_adjustment_final.png?raw=1)\n",
    "\n",
    "In practice, the camera extrinsics $g_{ij}$ and $g_i$ are represented using objects from the `SfMPerspectiveCameras` class initialized with the corresponding rotation and translation matrices `R_absolute` and `T_absolute` that define the extrinsic parameters $g = (R, T); R \\in SO(3); T \\in \\mathbb{R}^3$. In order to ensure that `R_absolute` is a valid rotation matrix, we represent it using an exponential map (implemented with `so3_exponential_map`) of the axis-angle representation of the rotation `log_R_absolute`.\n",
    "\n",
    "Note that the solution to this problem could only be recovered up to an unknown global rigid transformation $g_{glob} \\in SE(3)$. Thus, for simplicity, we assume knowledge of the absolute extrinsics of the first camera $g_0$. We set $g_0$ as a trivial camera $g_0 = (I, \\vec{0})$.\n"
