We present Theseus, an efficient application-agnostic open source library for differentiable nonlinear least squares (DNLS) optimization built on PyTorch, providing a common framework for end-to-end structured learning in robotics and vision.

We propose a novel sparse constrained formulation and from it derive a real-time optimization method for 3D human pose and shape estimation.

In this paper, we generalize proximal methods that were originally designed for convex optimization on normed vector space to non-convex pose graph optimization (PGO) on special Euclidean groups, and show that our proposed generalized proximal methods for PGO converge to first-order critical points.
