Applications of Hilbert's metric

Among the fascinating constructions in mathematics is the Hilbert metric on a bounded convex subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$.

Where, within mathematics, is it used ? I know at least a proof of the Perron--Frobenius Theorem for non-negative matrices.

What are its applications in other sciences ?
