Generating Dense Point Clouds using CMVS
2010-07-26 by , tagged as

Download CMVS and extract it to a directory of your choice, e.g. /usr/local/cmvs. Then in my case I needed to create a symbolic link liblapack.so.3 to liblapack.so within /usr/lib. You can add the CMVS directory to your PATH variable for easier access: export PATH=/usr/local/cmvs/program/main:$PATH.
Process an image directory after camera reconstruction with Bundler as follows:
- Generate PMVC input from Bundler output:
Bundle2PMVS list.txt bundle/bundle.out - Prepare output for PMVS/CMVS:
sh pmvs/prep_pmvs.sh(adjustBUNDLER_BIN_PATHin line 4) - Compute camera clusters with CMVS:
cmvs pmvs/ - Prepare option file for PMVS:
genOption pmvs/ - Compute dense point cloude with PMVS:
sh pmvs/pmvs.sh
