Section-by-section lengths and source pages

The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

      Argument and organization

      1. Rank useful edges

        Define SfM utility and geometry-derived ranking supervision instead of treating image similarity as the objective.

      2. Build and test connected graphs

        Describe multi-MST selection and score modulation, then test reconstruction, disambiguation and controlled variants.

      Problem, claim and contribution

      The bottleneck is graph initialization before verification, with downstream reconstruction failures used to justify why independent nearest-neighbor retrieval is inadequate.

      Introduction and Section 3 · Main paper · Additional source 2

      Argument and section order

      Ranking prediction and connectivity-aware selection have separate sections, preserving the distinction between learning scores and constructing a graph.

      Sections 3–4 · Main paper · Additional source 2

      Figures, captions and visual explanation

      Figure 2 branches learned ranks into a labeled training loss and an inference-only multi-MST path; dashed inference arrows make the final COLMAP dependency explicit.

      Tables, comparisons and evidence

      The experiments distinguish camera registration rate, pose accuracy and runtime, including the observation that near-complete registration alone does not explain higher pose accuracy.

      Appendix and reproducibility

      The short supplement adds failure cases and full runtime rather than merely extending the headline accuracy plots.

      Clarity and writing conventions

      Oracle rankings are labeled separately from deployable predictions, and component ablations state what is removed instead of relying on unnamed variants.

      What to reuse—and what not to infer

      Transferable lesson: For upstream pipeline improvements, show the unchanged downstream solver and report both coverage and accuracy; use runtime–quality plots to avoid conflating sparsity with usefulness.

      Boundary: An oracle curve is not a deployable baseline. Connectivity modulation can improve accuracy while adding time, so the preferred sparse operating point needs explicit budget context.

      Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
