// We read the BAL file, which has 3 cameras in it, with poses. We then assume
// the rotations are correct, but translations have to be estimated from
// translation directions only. Since we have 3 cameras, A, B, and C, we can at
// most create three relative measurements, let's call them w_aZb, w_aZc, and
// bZc. These will be of type Unit3. We then call `recoverTranslations` which
// sets up an optimization problem for the three unknown translations.
