…own solutions before ultimately embracing market leaders like Windows, Google Maps, AutoCAD and Salesforce. Complex software systems like 3D vision localization are particularly prone to organizations underestimating the schedule and budget associated with this project, along with the staff expertise and experience needed to design a solution for scale. While there are some examples of companies that managed to productize a vision-based localization solution after massive investment, most failed to reach the finish line and often spent four times more than planned. The allure of open-source and free libraries often tempts teams to quickly build a prototype and then extrapolate…
