GTSAM
GTSAM (Georgia Tech Smoothing and Mapping) is a software library used in robotics and autonomous systems to help computers understand and map their environment. It uses advanced mathematical methods to combine multiple sensor measurements (like cameras, lasers, or GPS) over time, creating a consistent and accurate map while simultaneously determining the robot’s position within it. GTSAM efficiently solves complex problems involving uncertainty and noise, enabling reliable navigation, localization, and environment understanding essential for autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots.
