The NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline is a suite of automated geodesy & stereogrammetry tools designed for processing planetary imagery captured from orbiting and landed robotic explorers on other planets.
The parallel_bundle_adjust tool uses absolute sym-links (and I think mapproject and parallel_stereo as well). Those are a pain to deal with since simply renaming the output directory or moving it one level up or copying to a different file system breaks things (e.g., if /home becomes /home6, etc).
We should use relative links. I know sometimes they can be confusing, but overall they work well and as long as one follow conventions of how to manipulate them and from where they work better in practice.
