"""COLMAP-based vertex position refinement.
Two complementary refinement strategies that use the COLMAP sparse point
cloud as a high-precision 3D landmark source:
1. ``refine_vertices_3d_plane`` — Variant (a+c).
For each merged_v vertex, find its K nearest COLMAP points in 3D,
fit a local plane, and project the vertex onto that plane. Cancels
depth-noise residuals after the initial unprojection.
2. ``refine_vertices_multiview_plane`` — Variant (b).
For each merged_v vertex, project it into every view, find the K
nearest COLMAP points in 2D within each view's image, fit a local
plane in 3D from those points, project the vertex onto the plane,
and average the resulting 3D positions across views weighted by the
plane fit quality.
Both methods only use ``pycolmap`` + ``numpy`` + ``scipy``. Purely
geometric — no thresholds tuned on local validation.

knn_radius : maximum distance for a neighbour to count.
knn_k : maximum number of neighbours to use (for speed).

For each vertex:
1. Project it into every available view.
2. In each view, find COLMAP points whose own 2D projection is
within ``knn_2d_px`` of the vertex projection.
3. Take the corresponding 3D points and fit a local plane.
4. Project the vertex onto that plane → one candidate 3D position
per view, weighted by the plane's PCA quality.
5. Combine the per-view candidates as a quality-weighted mean.
Crucially, the 2D pixel neighbourhood ensures the COLMAP points used
for the plane fit are the **ones the camera sees near this vertex** —
not just close in 3D — so it does not blend roof + wall + ground
points like a 3D KNN would.
Returns ``(refined, snapped)`` arrays in the same shape as the input.
