// The two preconditioners share enough code that its most efficient

// This class implements visibility based preconditioners for
// Structure from Motion/Bundle Adjustment problems. The name
// VisibilityBasedPreconditioner comes from the fact that the sparsity
// structure of the preconditioner matrix is determined by analyzing
// the visibility structure of the scene, i.e. which cameras see which
// points.
//
// The key idea of visibility based preconditioning is to identify
// cameras that we expect have strong interactions, and then using the
// entries in the Schur complement matrix corresponding to these
// camera pairs as an approximation to the full Schur complement.
//
// CLUSTER_JACOBI identifies these camera pairs by clustering cameras,
// and considering all non-zero camera pairs within each cluster. The
// clustering in the current implementation is done using the
// Canonical Views algorithm of Simon et al. (see
// canonical_views_clustering.h). For the purposes of clustering, the
// similarity or the degree of interaction between a pair of cameras
// is measured by counting the number of points visible in both the
// cameras. Thus the name VisibilityBasedPreconditioner. Further, if we
// were to permute the parameter blocks such that all the cameras in
// the same cluster occur contiguously, the preconditioner matrix will
// be a block diagonal matrix with blocks corresponding to the
// clusters. Thus in analogy with the Jacobi preconditioner we refer
// to this as the CLUSTER_JACOBI preconditioner.
//
// CLUSTER_TRIDIAGONAL adds more mass to the CLUSTER_JACOBI
// preconditioner by considering the interaction between clusters and
// identifying strong interactions between cluster pairs. This is done
// by constructing a weighted graph on the clusters, with the weight
// on the edges connecting two clusters proportional to the number of
// 3D points visible to cameras in both the clusters. A degree-2
// maximum spanning forest is identified in this graph and the camera
// pairs contained in the edges of this forest are added to the
// preconditioner. The detailed reasoning for this construction is
// explained in the paper mentioned above.
//
// Degree-2 spanning trees and forests have the property that they
// correspond to tri-diagonal matrices. Thus there exist a permutation
// of the camera blocks under which the CLUSTER_TRIDIAGONAL
// preconditioner matrix is a block tridiagonal matrix, and thus the
// name for the preconditioner.
//
// Thread Safety: This class is NOT thread safe.

// options.preconditioner_type = CLUSTER_JACOBI;

// *A.block_structure(), options);
