Here’s a script to reduce the processing of AliceVision’s Meshroom to a single double click. Much as I did for COLMAP, (and here) I’ve put together a batch file that can just be dropped into a folder of photos and … Continue reading Batch Script for running AliceVision MeshRoom from command line
AliceVision’s Meshroom was made available as a windows binary not long ago – I wrote about it shortly after it was released and produced a model using my standard test set using default settings. Since then, it’s become my go-to … Continue reading Getting the most out of AliceVision Meshroom – tweaking parameters
At the risk of running too many repeats recently, I’ve retested the newest version of 3DF Zephyr Free on my standard dataset. I’ve previously tested 3DF Zephyr Free, and found it to be pretty straightforward to use, about as quick … Continue reading Photogrammetry Testing 13: Revisiting 3DFZephyr Free (v4.001)
Given how insanely popular my ‘trying photogrammetry software‘ series has been this year, I thought I’d round up what I’ve tried, what’s worked well, and what hasn’t. Obviously I gave each piece of software in my blog posts a go … Continue reading Free photogrammetry software review: 2017

Here’s the original post, with links to all posts This post was updated 27/5/17 – see end of post; turns out using COLMAP for sparse reconstruction let openMVS create an awesome mesh. Normally I see OpenMVS mentioned in the same breath as OpenMVG, but I’m still having significant troubles with OpenMVG behaving with this dataset, so I’ll run the matching with VisualSFM. Download VisualSFM here: http://ccwu.me/vsfm/ And Download OpenMVS binaries here: http://cdcseacave.github.io/openMVS/ (or build it yourself from source.) It’s a while since I’ve used VisualSFM, preferring COLMAP recently. My word it is fast! 95 seconds to a full reconstruction … Continue reading Photogrammetry Testing 11: VisualSFM & OpenMVS (and COLMAP+openMVS)
Here’s the original post, and links to all posts I have previously outlined my goal of testing multiple photogrammetry solutions on a single dataset, and reporting times and results. I’m using a dataset based on photographs of this Styracosaurus model … Continue reading Photogrammetry Testing 10: MicMac
