Photogrammetry problem from Bruno Luong, FOGALE nanotech, France. The problem of interest is: [U S V]=svd(full(A),0); s=diag(S); The spectrum has two parts: - the singular values s(1) to s(end-7) are 1.7486e-004 to 3.4655e-007 (ratio 504.57). - the singular values s(end-6) to s(end) is smaller than 2.9614e-012 (ratio > 5.9e7). So in my problem, I consider K = span is the kernel of A, and L = span = orthogonal(K) is isomorph to Im(A). The rank deficient is not quite clear since of A is a Jacobian of certain non-linear operator. One can prove this non-linear operator has a same value on a manifold of dimension 7. This manifold has some sort of curvature. Best regards, Bruno
