  Description     : parallel-accelerated bundle adjustment for multicore CPU and GPU
 The emergence of multi-core computers represents a fundamental shift, with
 major implications for the design of computer vision algorithms. Most
 computers sold today have a multicore CPU with 2-16 cores and a GPU with
 anywhere from 4 to 128 cores. Exploiting this hardware parallelism will be
 key to the success and scalability of computer vision algorithms in the future.
 In this project, we consider the design and implementation of new inexact
 Newton type Bundle Adjustment algorithms that exploit hardware parallelism for
 efficiently solving large scale 3D scene reconstruction problems. We explore
 the use of multicore CPU as well as multicore GPUs for this purpose. We show
 that overcoming the severe memory and bandwidth limitations of current
 generation GPUs not only leads to more space efficient algorithms, but also to
 surprising savings in runtime. Our CPU based system is up to ten times and our
 GPU based system is up to thirty times faster than the current state of the
 art methods, while maintaining comparable convergence behavior.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging mcba. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of mcba from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging mcba, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <743185@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
