PnP*: Certifiable camera pose solver with global optimality guarantees
First practical certifiable solver for Perspective-n-Point (PnP) that guarantees globally optimal Maximum Likelihood Estimation without replacing the actual objective. Directly applicable to SLAM, visual localization, and any CV pipeline requiring robust camera pose estimation from 3D-2D correspondences.
