I previously gave you a little script that can run AliceVision MeshRoom from the command line, speeding things up when you have a lot of photos. However, I rely on some of the parameters being changed, specifically I like to use guided matching and LCSM texturing (because it gives me more robust SFM reconstructions, and... Continue Reading →
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 double clicked to run the full Meshroom process and produce a filtered, textured model without...

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 software for producing photogrammetric models. It’s generally not as fast as COLMAP, but I like... Continue Reading →

I've tried something new and made a video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnwfKBj4WTs However, personally I have little time for video tutorials, so here's a written version: Get your CT data: Fairly obviously, you'll need some CT data. I assume you have your own, but if not, you can download some from John Hutchinson's excellent CrocBase resource -... Continue Reading →
[updated 10/7/18 to use development version of COLMAP, and include environment variables] It's been a while since I wrote anything on the blog - an extremely high teaching load has kept me from tinkering. So to ease myself back in, here are updated scripts for running colmap and openMVS automatically. COLMAP 3.4 changed the way... Continue Reading →
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 with a standard dataset. That photo set was not ideal - it includes photos taken... Continue Reading →
I’ve previously discussed on this blog my love of dealing with a combination of rotation maths and awkward software. I finally solved the problems that have been bugging my simulation workflow for the past 5 years, and I thought now would be a good time to share the mistakes I’ve made, and the code that...
