Ask HN: What photogrammetric software do you use and why?
- rusty__ 9y agoi'm very impressed with reality capture (https://www.capturingreality.com https://www.capturingreality.com) - I'm a VFX artist and we've used this software on all manner of occasions and it's always come up trumps. From standard modeling reconstruction from stills photos to recreating a cliff/hillside from moving footage for matchmoving a sequence shot in that location because our lidar scan turned out to be junk (inaccurate and full of holes). We've also used it to generate an animated 3d mesh from an actor performing lines we shot on 4 cameras that we were able to track on to another animated mesh and reproject textures from that. Very very good software. Expensive but great results.
- ThatHNGuy 9y agoAgisoft is quite a beast, producing good results at a price
- HHCHunter 9y agoAgisoft is what I use on a weekly to daily basis on an i9 system, and it's really good. Unfortunately it's closed source unlike alternatives.
- jadavies 9y agoIf you're looking for FOSS then I've had some success with a combination of openMVG ( http://imagine.enpc.fr/~moulonp/openMVG/ http://imagine.enpc.fr/~moulonp/openMVG/ ) and MVE ( https://www.gcc.tu-darmstadt.de/home/proj/mve/ https://www.gcc.tu-darmstadt.de/home/proj/mve/ ). In the future I also want to try openMVS ( https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS ) as an alternative to MVE. I've written a few blog posts on this subject - https://theretiredengineer.wordpress.com/category/photogrammetry/ https://theretiredengineer.wordpress.com/category/photogramm.... There's also a much more in-depth investigation here - https://pfalkingham.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/free-photogrammetry-software-review-2017/ https://pfalkingham.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/free-photogramm... - but not all the software being reviewed is fully FOSS.
