Thanks, but I was thinking more of a technique where you already know which
points on the image are also on other images, rather than where you have to
deduce them. For example, I could take a few images of a simple cubistic
object, the point out "this point is the top left corner of the doorway in
this photo, and that point is the top left corner of the doorway in that
photo". I saw an article long ago about that but didn't learn the math.

Yeah, I gathered that from his 425 photos of that one little pile of rocks. :-)

I just thought it was cool. :-) I like easy ways to get models.

so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
"what color is your nose?"
