// papers - "Agarwal et al, Bundle Adjustment in the Large, ECCV 2010"

Packit ea1746
// The key idea is that one can run Conjugate Gradients on the Schur
Packit ea1746
// Complement system without explicitly forming the Schur Complement
Packit ea1746
// in memory. The heavy lifting for this is done by the
Packit ea1746
// ImplicitSchurComplement class. Not forming the Schur complement in
Packit ea1746
// memory and factoring it results in substantial savings in time and
Packit ea1746
// memory. Further, iterative solvers like this open up the
Packit ea1746
// possibility of solving the Newton equations in a non-linear solver
Packit ea1746
// only approximately and terminating early, thereby saving even more
Packit ea1746
// time.
Packit ea1746
//
Packit ea1746
// For the curious, running CG on the Schur complement is the same as
Packit ea1746
// running CG on the Normal Equations with an SSOR preconditioner. For
Packit ea1746
// a proof of this fact and others related to this solver please see
Packit ea1746
// the section on Domain Decomposition Methods in Saad's book
