+%description
+Ceres Solver is a portable C++ library that allows for modeling and solving
+large complicated nonlinear least squares problems. Features include:
+
+  - A friendly API: build your objective function one term at a time
+  - Automatic differentiation
+  - Robust loss functions
+  - Local parameterizations
+  - Threaded Jacobian evaluators and linear solvers
+  - Levenberg-Marquardt and Dogleg (Powell & Subspace) solvers
+  - Dense QR and Cholesky factorization (using Eigen) for small problems
+  - Sparse Cholesky factorization (using SuiteSparse) for large sparse problems
+  - Specialized solvers for bundle adjustment problems in computer vision
+  - Iterative linear solvers for general sparse and bundle adjustment problems
+  - Runs on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and Android. An iOS port is underway
+
+Notable use of Ceres Solver is for the image alignment in Google Maps and for
+vehicle pose in Google Street View.
