> It's a regression to commons-math v2.0.
> Our software uses LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer for surface fitting by sampled points. Our parameterization of the surface we are fitting may be unconstrained, for example it is enough to have only 4 variables to represent cylinder axis and origin (using euler angles and origin distance), but to simplify derivative computation we instead use 6 parameter representation (vector + point). To make sure that the we constrain our search to valid vectors and origins, we need to renormalize and update surface parameters on every step of optimization.
> Please see this article for details of 3d surface fitting and parameter normalization:
> http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/jres/103/6/j36sha.pdf
> Attached surface_fitting_tests.zip package with 2 unit tests that reproduce this problem.
> Contents of package:
> 1) simple - simple single file test that tests only in/out side effect of patched library
> 2) full - complex test that fits cylinder using sampled points (uses cylinder, fit, utils sources)
> 3) lib - contains commons-math3 jar libraries: v3.3 and v3.3A1 (patched). There are also library sources.
> 4) patch - contains SVN patch file
> To reproduce:
> Run SurfaceFitterFullTest.java and SurfaceFitterSimpleTest.java tests with commons-math3-3.3.jar OR commons-math3-3.3A1.jar libraries.
