Euclidean 3D Reconstruction from Stereo Sequences with Variable Focal Lengths

A stereo rig can be calibrated using a calibration grid, but recent work demonstrated the possibility of auto-calibration. There remain two important limitations, however. First, the focal lengths of the cameras should remain fixed, thereby excluding zooming or focusing. Second, the stereo rig must not purely translate, which however is the most natural type of motion. This also implies that these methods collapse when the motion comes close to being a translation.
