Multiview geometry theory is applied to atmospheric nuclear tests filmed in the 1950s and 1960s, to estimate the three-dimensional locations of fixed structures and radiological material during the detonation. Results show that using bundle adjustment, points can be estimated with an average uncertainty of 0.68 m with 0.36, 0.28, and 0.37 m of uncertainty in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively.
