In geometric computer vision, the structure from motion (SfM) problem can be formulated as a optimization problem with a rank constraint. It is well known that the trace norm of a matrix can act as a convex proxy for a low rank constraint. Hence, in recent work [7], the trace-norm relaxation has bee...
