Photogrammetry testing 7: SMVS (+MVE)
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.

It's a volume I was privileged enough to be an editor for, and it contains a number of excellent chapters. I wanted to post about my own... Continue Reading →

Trying all the free Photogrammetry!
In which I tried - and failed - to document pros and cons for about a million different combinations of software.
Installing Bash on Windows 10
The recent update for Windows 10 enabled a feature that I’m sure has gone unnoticed by many: You can now install a native linux terminal in Windows. Who cares? I hear you ask. Well, I’ll be writing up guides on some open source software soon, and using Bash on Windows 10 is waaaaay easier than... Continue Reading →
