Thanks, Brian! The technique is a form of photogrammetry called Structure from Motion (SfM). You might also be interested to know about Project Mosul to use crowd-sourced photos to virtually reconstruct objects destroyed in Mosul using SfM. It's an opportunity to help with the virtual reconstruction of the lost artifacts.
I'd like to see this done finding stereo pairs -- which isn't hard to do.
I've found 'accidental' stereo pairs both in ordinary photos online and in satellite photographs from, e.g., Terra and Aqua, which sometimes take almost the same photograph from almost the same angle at almost the same time, making a nice "long base" stereo giving the "my head is as big as the Earth" point of view.
I can hardly wait for First Superluminal Contact with the Procyon Long Now Foundation, so we can download their Whole Whole Earth time- lapse telescopic continental drift images
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

I'm just hoping to see something soon from closer by, as we approach
"the expected arrival time of DSCOVR at L1 around the beginning of June."
Nothing yet, at least for us outsiders.

"Good start though."
Perilously close to Utah Phillips's line, "Good though," which is probably best appreciated after listening to his performance.
