A program for 3D reconstruction from a collection of images. It finds common points across photos, computes camera positions (Structure-from-Motion) and builds a dense point cloud and surface mesh (Multi-View Stereo). It has both a graphical and a command-line interface. It is useful for documenting buildings, facades and photographed elements and for producing models from drone photos. The dense stage is much faster with an NVIDIA (CUDA) graphics card.
