About:
PoseLib is a lightweight C++ library providing minimal solvers for calibrated camera pose estimation. It focuses on efficiency and robustness for geometric vision tasks, offering optimized implementations for Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problems. This makes it ideal for applications requiring fast and reliable camera localization.
Key Features:
  • Minimal solvers for PnP, two-view, and multi-view geometry
  • Highly optimized for performance and speed
  • Robust estimation with RANSAC support
  • Simple and easy-to-integrate C++ API
Use Cases:
  • SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems
  • Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipelines
  • Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) applications
  • Robotics navigation and localization
Alternatives:
  • OpenCV – OpenCV is a massive computer vision library with pose estimation modules, whereas PoseLib is a specialized, lightweight alternative focused solely on minimal solvers for better performance.
  • TheiaSfM – TheiaSfM is a full-scale SfM library, while PoseLib provides the core geometric solvers that could be used within such a system.
