Integration with openMVS #56

Closed AndreaMonzini closed 5 years ago

AndreaMonzini commented 5 years ago

Hello! thank you for your great addon! I will test it as soon as possible.

I use openMVG + openMVS for photogrammetry. https://github.com/openMVG/openMVG https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS

I read in the roadmap a possible integration with OpenMVS. Could it be possible to integrate OpenMVG and OpenMVS with BakeMyScan? A Blender Addon with photogrammetry scan, remeshing, retopology and PBR textures management would be super!

As reference there is this useful addon https://github.com/cogitas3d/OrtogOnBlender

Thank you, Andrea

Hi there, and thanks for your inquiry!

Sorry if the plan is not "definitive" yet, as I'm still creating content and fixing the last bugs in the actual version of BMS... I actually tried OpenMVG + OpenMVS also, which worked fine for me, but seemed to get better results with Colmap ;). But when I'll start putting the scripts I use into the addon, I'll definitely add OpenMVG o my TODO list.

However, I cannot provide you with much more information concerning the "when" aspect right now, as I'll be defining an "official" roadmap in the next few days / weeks, so make sure to stay tuned!

I'm sure BakeMyScan can quickly turn into something great though, so if you have any feedback, I would absolutely love to have it (right now, you would be the 2nd person ever giving me feedback ;) ).

Keeping this issue opened, and marking as a duplicate of #22

Thank you for the quick and complete reply! I prefer openMVG + openMVS because i use CPU + AMD GPU ( Rx 580) with MESA open source driver and a GNU/Linux distro. For this reason i unfortunately cannot use Colmap and Meshroom because they are not compatible for a complete photogrammetry reconstruction with my system. As free open source software supporter i prefer to not be forced to use proprietary drivers and GPU computing platform that works only with one GPU vendor.

I also appreciate the clear use of GPL license as Blender GPL Python compliance :)

For my next photogrammetry project i will use BakeMyScan with openMVG + openMVS scripts for a better feedback !

You're very welcome! I'll might ping you in a mid-term future to exchange about the workflow you use for scanning, and will see what I can do! Something funny: I did not even know about Blender GPL Python compliance, I guess I've just been lucky on that one ;) I'll be waiting for your feedback, and do not worry if I might take some time to answer in the future, as I'm currently setting up the website/tutorials/documentation/roadmap/bugfixing/donation/communication/community aspect of it all !

@AndreaMonzini I have opened an issue for OpenMVG, as I am finalizing the OpenMVS and Colmap integration. I won't tackle this right now, but feel free to interact on #79 :slightly_smiling_face:
