Abstract
Techniques for generating three-dimensional content from the recordings of multiple independently operated cameras that are not constrained to fixed positions and orientations are disclosed. In some embodiments, data from a plurality of cameras configured to record a scene is received; a relative pose of each camera with respect to a common set of identified points in the scene is determined; relative poses of the cameras with respect to each other based on their relative poses with respect to the common set of identified points are determined; and the camera recordings and determined relative poses are processed to generate a three-dimensional reconstruction of at least a portion of the scene in the cameras' common field of view.
