No need to accumulate the futures. You can just do thread_pool_->Wait(); to finish all tasks in the pool.

Fixed but does not propagate THROW_CHECK_EQ exceptions. How could this be solved?

I removed THROW_CHECK_EQ from ComputeImageResidual, and only perform the checks once before computing the residuals.

Let's forward-decl threadpool here as well instead of including this header.

Hey @ahojnnes ,
We've recently had a computation bottleneck when trying to merge big reconstructions (2,500 to 35,000 common images). The heaviest step is computing the residuals for alignment. This PR simply computes the residuals with a threadpool.
On two models with 2,706 common images the alignment step drops from 646 s to 51 s with 64 threads.
N.B.:
THROW_CHECK_EQexceptions in threads are propagated in the main thread throughfuture.get().
