sba is a publicly available (GPL) C/C++ software package for generic
sparse bundle adjustment based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
Major additions to v1.1 are as follows:
** sba now includes routines for refining scene structure while keeping
camera motion unmodified. Strictly speaking, this is not true bundle
adjustment but can, for example, be useful when reconstructing 3D
points seen in a set of extrinsically calibrated images.
** A linear systems solver that is based on the conjugate gradients method
has been implemented. When applied to very large problems, this solver is
more efficient than solvers based on decompositions such as Cholesky, LU,
QR, SVD, etc.
