Shadow Prices of the Crop Window in L1-Optimal Stabilisation of Footpath-Survey Video
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement treats the crop fraction of an L1-optimal video stabiliser as a resource, allocated across 214 kerb-to-kerb segments of a footpath-condition survey filmed from a bicycle handlebar. Equalising the crop's shadow price across concrete, paver and asphalt stretches lowers total camera-path cost by 31% against the survey's uniform crop at the same budget, and a side constraint holding defect visibility to current practice keeps a 19% reduction.
