// A convenience class for cost functions which are statically sized.
// Compared to the dynamically-sized base class, this reduces boilerplate.
//
// The kNumResiduals template parameter can be a constant such as 2 or 5, or it
// can be ceres::DYNAMIC. If kNumResiduals is ceres::DYNAMIC, then subclasses
// are responsible for calling set_num_residuals() at runtime.
