Help me understand the code

[gluttony47]

I want to learn what is under the hood of meshroom. i understand the pipeline as described in the meshroom manual https://docs.google.com/document/d/17HYtYS1tvx053k3_nO6Z2GnP2R3cXMlGMN-1WIe3kJE/edit# (great job on the manual by the way). but i am stuck while reading the code as i am not sure where should i begin. can anyone please help? for example, you can say - "go read this code script xyz.py to begin understanding how to construct mesh from dense cloud points"

thanks

When you start Meshroom, there is a CLI window in the background. You can run the nodes in Meshroom and check the CLI parameters to see how Meshroom calls up alicevision.

You can take a look at the Meshroom GUI nodes. The nodes basically call up the alicevision package functions located here and here.

The compiled alicevision files can be found with the Meshroom binary release in Meshroom/alicevision/bin
