Description
OpenSfM uses a specific topocentric coordinate system that is local to the reconstruction. This is good for maintaining the coordinates small and preventing numerical issues during the optimizations.
For exporting the reconstruction to other applications we need to convert the results to standard geographic coordinates systems.
A command doing the conversion should be added.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing reconstruction export commands and the code that represents OpenSfM’s local topocentric coordinates. Determine which standard geographic coordinate systems the command must support and how conversion results should be exposed. Done means a usable export command converts reconstructions for use by other applications, with behavior verified by appropriate tests.
