Hands-on Tutorial for Global Optimization in Matlab

This git repo is for the ICCV 2019 Tutorial "Global Optimization for Geometric Understanding with Provable Guarantees".

Authors: Heng Yang, Siyi Hu, Luca Carlone

Acknowledgement: The tutorial uses the SE-Sync implementation by David Rosen.

Prerequisites

• CVX: Please download CVX according to your OS and put the "cvx" folder at the same folder level as this "GlobalOptimizationTutorial" folder (e.g. "path/Matlab/cvx" and "path/Matlab/GlobalOptimizationTutorial"), and then go inside the "cvx" folder from Matlab console and run cvx_setup.

Get Started

• As simple as just openning, reading and running the Tutorial_presentation.mlx (Tutorial_complete.mlx contains the solution)
• Alternatively, you can just read the Tutorial_complete.pdf
