cuNLS refining two large estimation problems, one Gauss-Newton/LM iteration per frame:

- **Left — Sphere pose-graph refinement.** 200k points that should lie on a sphere
are connected by relative ("between") constraints and start as a disturbed blob.
cuNLS drives them back onto the sphere; color encodes per-point error, cooling from
hot to calm as the solve converges.
- **Right — Kepler orbit fitting.** A family of orbits is observed as noisy 3-D points;
cuNLS estimates the five Keplerian elements per orbit (custom NVIDIA Warp factor on an
$\mathbb{R}^5$ state) and a jittered tangle of loops organizes into a crisp nested
rosette of tilted ellipses.
