Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support

   LIBELAS is primarily written in C++ and lacks official bindings or support for other languages, limiting its accessibility to developers not proficient in C++.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   The library requires a detailed configuration and compilation step which can be challenging without extensive knowledge of CMake and dependency management.

3. 03

   Performance may degrade with non-optimized hardware

   LIBELAS is highly optimized for specific hardware configurations. Performance drops significantly on less powerful or differently configured systems, limiting its utility in heterogeneous environments.

What it does well

• High performance for large-scale stereo matching

• Optimized for real-time processing in robotics and autonomous systems

• BSD-2-Clause licensed, allowing broad usage
