Description
In two_view_reconstruction_general, first OpenSfM tries the general two_view_reconstruction and after that two_view_reconstruction_plane_based. Would it significantly speed up processing if there were a flag to only use two_view_reconstruction_plane_based when the user knows the input is from something like a drone flyover of an agricultural field?

Research direction
Read opensfm/reconstruction.py around two_view_reconstruction_general and the linked lines 467-508. Compare processing with the general and plane-based reconstruction paths on the stated drone or agricultural-field case, and determine whether a user-selectable plane-only option provides a meaningful speedup. Done means the performance trade-off and the scope of any flag are clear.
