|
|
||
|
|
* Estimate the pose of `Street View`_ cars, aircrafts, and satellites.
|
||
|
|
* Build 3D models for `PhotoTours`_.

Zurich uses Ceres for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Camera and Camera/IMU Calibration.
|
||
|
|
* Large scale optimization of visual, inertial, gps and
|
||
|
|
wheel-odometry data for long term autonomy.

|
||
|
|
* Camera/depth sensors network calibration.
|
||
|
|
* Depth sensor distortion map estimation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `Theia <http://cs.ucsb.edu/~cmsweeney/theia>`_ is an open source
|
||
|
|
Structure from Motion library that uses Ceres for `bundle adjustment`_
|
||

|
and camera pose estimation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
