* At `Google <http://www.google.com>`_, Ceres is used to:
|
|
|
|
* Estimate the pose of `Street View`_ cars, aircrafts, and satellites.
|
|
* Build 3D models for `PhotoTours`_.
|
|
* Estimate satellite image sensor characteristics.
|
|
* Stitch `panoramas`_ on Android and iOS.
|
|
* Apply `Lens Blur`_ on Android.
|
|
* Solve `bundle adjustment`_ and `SLAM`_ problems in `Project
|
|
Tango`_.
|
|
|
|
* `Willow Garage`_ uses Ceres to solve `SLAM`_ problems.
|
|
* `Southwest Research Institute <http://www.swri.org/>`_ uses Ceres for
|
|
`calibrating robot-camera systems`_.
|

* `Blender <http://www.blender.org>`_ uses Ceres for `planar
|
|
tracking`_ and `bundle adjustment`_.
|
|
* `OpenMVG <http://imagine.enpc.fr/~moulonp/openMVG/>`_ an open source
|
|
multi-view geometry library uses Ceres for `bundle adjustment`_.
|

* `Microsoft Research <http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/>`_ uses
|
|
Ceres for nonlinear optimization of objectives involving subdivision
|
|
surfaces under `skinned control meshes`_.
|
|
* `Matterport <http://www.matterport.com>`_, uses Ceres for global
|
|
alignment of 3D point clouds and for pose graph optimization.
|
|
* `Obvious Engineering <http://obviousengine.com/>`_ uses Ceres for
|
|
bundle adjustment for their 3D photography app `Seene
|
|
<http://seene.co/>`_.
|
|

|
|
Zurich uses Ceres for
|
|
|
|
* Camera and Camera/IMU Calibration.
|
|
* Large scale optimization of visual, inertial, gps and
|
|
wheel-odometry data for long term autonomy.
|
|
|
|
* `OpenPTrack <http://openptrack.org/>`_ uses Ceres for camera
|
|
calibration.
|
|
* The `Intelligent Autonomous System Lab <http://robotics.dei.unipd.it/>`_
|
|
at University of Padova, Italy, uses Ceres for
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* The `Applied Research Laboratory <https://www.arl.psu.edu/>`_ at
|
|
Pennsylvania State University uses in their synthetic aperture Sonar
|
|
beamforming engine, called ASASIN , for estimating platform
|
|
kinematics.
