CARS, a satellite multi view stereo pipeline

CARS is a dedicated and open source 3D software. It creates Digital Surface Models (DSM) from pairs of satellite images using MultiView Stereo methods. CARS is designed for massive production and scalability [Michel J. et al, 2020]. It aims to be effectively used on HPC cluster as well as personal computers and is the core of the 3D image processing chain of the CO3D [Melet O. et al, 2020] satellite mission.
