Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographs or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process.

See the presentation of the pipeline steps.

License

The project is released under MPLv2, see COPYING.md.

Get the project

See INSTALL.md to setup the project and pre-requisites.

Get the source code and install runtime requirements:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/alicevision/meshroom
cd meshroom
pip install -r requirements.txt

Start Meshroom

You need to have AliceVision installation in your PATH (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/macOS).

• Launch the User Interface

# Windows
set PYTHONPATH=%CD% && python meshroom/ui
# Linux/macOS
PYTHONPATH=$PWD python meshroom/ui

On Ubuntu, you may have conflicts between native drivers and mesa drivers. In that case, you need to force usage of native drivers by adding them to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-340 PYTHONPATH=$PWD python meshroom/ui You may need to adjust the folder /usr/lib/nvidia-340 with the correct driver version.

• Launch a 3D reconstruction in command line

# Windows: set PYTHONPATH=%CD% &&
# Linux/macOS: PYTHONPATH=$PWD
python bin/meshroom_photogrammetry --input INPUT_IMAGES_FOLDER --output OUTPUT_FOLDER
