@Vit: Does it work without specifying the --ba option? If not you may need to install visual studio redistribuable. If yes I don't know. You can check with depency walker to track for missing dll on your system. Or you can also compile bundler from source (as I've uploaded all my modifications on my github bundler fork now.

If used parametrs –ba, error “The program bundler.exe has stopped working”. Tell me what’s the problem?
CUDA drivers installed.

@Sergiy: I've added the cudart dll (v4.1) in my zip file now. I've also started to commit my changes to Bundler on my Github fork. The parallel epipolar optimization is not yet commited as I need to modify the cmake file to compile some project in c++ instead of c. But the bundle adjustment selector is commited.

The bundler.exe is dependant on cudart64_41_28.dll (CUDA 4.1 Runtime I presume), and the current CUDA release is 4.2, so the only dll they ship is cudart64_42_9.dll. Could you recompile for the new CUDA, or post all the .dlls? Thanks!

@Kyle: you need to install visual studio redistribuable 2010 x64 and cuda runtime 4.1.28 x64 (cudart64_41_28.dll). BTW Dependencies walker is a great tool to find out the dll needed for an executable…

I’ll post my modification on a github fork once I’ll get a decent internet connexion back (should happen in a few week).

Hi Henri,

I followed your website for a long time and learned heaps here. Thank you very much.

It is exciting to run bundler with multiple threading. However, currently do you just release the binary executable file instead of the source codes? In order to run this bundler.exe, what kind of dll files should I include, otherwise I always got runtime error when I launch this new bundler.exe.

Your response will be appreciated.

Thanks.

@whatnick: Nice to see that someone else tried to multi-thread the epipolar geometry computation BTW I’ve taken a look at your changes to BundlerMatcher and your blog post: I can give you some hint on how to deal with extra high resolution images (contact me by mail). Furthermore selecting the matching pairs based on GPS coords is not really a good idea if you don’t have the camera orientation (in case your are also shooting oblique imagery). You may want to use the unstructured linear matching solution available with OpenSynther instead. There is already a BundlerMatcher replacement in OpenSynther (with more matching mode). But this version is resizing the input images to reduce the number of features (as photosynth does) which is not a good idea if you need high accuracy.

@Fabricio: Bundler must be used with SFMToolkit not PhotoSynthToolkit. This version of Bundler is useful for advanced user only. If I have enough time I’ll release a new version of SFMToolkit packaged with this version of Bundler.
