 CamP-style + warm-up in the seventh (2° rotation).
 
+The recovered cameras show why. Joint optimization pulls the noisy training
+cameras back to within 0.025 scene units on average (from 0.16); removing one
+global similarity transform brings that to 0.016.

+从恢复出的相机位置可以看出原因：联合优化把带噪声的训练相机拉回到平均距 GT 0.025 个场景单位以内（原始扰动为 0.16）；再去掉一个全局相似变换，误差降到 0.016。
