We describe an approach to blind 3D reconstruction that combines AI-based assessment of the scene with local optimization for accurate reconstruction. This enables global optimization that does not require accurate ground truth in calibration or a good starting point for parameters. The approach can be used for initial calibration as well as continual online calibration and reconstruction.
