SFMToolkit

Structure from Motion Toolkit is a complete photogrammetry solution based on open-source software. This toolkit is designed to be used on a 64-bit Windows OS with an Nvidia 3D card (tested on Windows Vista/7 and Nvidia 8800, 9800, 285, 465, 470).

Development status:

Done:

  • BundlerViewer: basic features implemented, needs improvements

ToDo:

  • Replace BundlerMatcher with OpenSynther that has a linear matching complexity

    Have you done any 32-bit version of BundlerMatcher? I am very curious about cmvs, but I only have Vista 32-bit. The Photosynthtoolkit is very good, but I miss cmvs.

  2. admin says:

    Olof: I don’t have compiled a 32-bit version of BundlerMatcher because the memory limitation of 32-bit app are too low. Moreover SiftGPU is using lot of virtual memory so it doesn’t let that much memory space to handle lot of feature descriptors… But I think that I’ll have a good news about CMVS and PhotoSynthToolkit in a couple weeks… stay tuned!

  3. Olof says:

    Ok. Thanks for the reply. CMVS and PhotoSynthToolkit sounds like a very nice combination!

    I have installed and attempt to run this tool kit.
    However I get a Microsoft LScript runtime error when using the supplied sample images.

    The error is file not found code 800A0035 line 330 char 3.
    SFMTToolkit3\1-Bundler.wsf.

    Any help working this issue out would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same error on line 330 Char 3 File not found. I am on windows 7 x64 and have a nvidia graphics card.

    Regarding my last post, Moving the SFMToolkit3 folder to C:\ seems to have fixed the problem

    Hi there, any news about the error on line 330 char 3? I just moved to a new 64bit computer but I keep getting this error message. I copied everything on C but nothing. I also moved the photos to c:\photos but still no success.
    Help please!!
    Thanks

    @Brad: I’ve taken a look at your log files and my guess is that there is not enough overlap between your pictures. Have you tried to use photosynth with your dataset?

  12. Ara says:

    I follow the instructions in the guide (http://files.neonascent.net/photogrammetry-guide.pdf) but when I get to step denserecon.vds, starts the process but I get the error: Error opening file. / bundle / bundle.out for reading and a system window that says: radialundistort.exe stopped working. What should I do to get through the process? What am I doing wrong?. I am desperate

  13. Henri says:

    @Ara: well, you should use SFMToolkit instead: the toolkit you are referring to was created before. BTW do you have tried PhotoSynthToolkit or even better 123D catch?

  14. Nabeel says:

    Hi. I have downloaded the kit. When I try to run Bundler script on the images error comes up at line 3. . .

  15. Lee_william says:

    My computer does not support GPU.But I want to use BundlerToTracking.exe to generate track files.What should I do?Thank you!

  16. Henri says:

    @Lee: BundlerToTracking was designed to produce a binary file needed for my outdoor augmented reality tracking algorithm. I doubt that it will be useful to you without the corresponding tracking code… (which is not open-source).

    Error: Missing CCD width in xml database for (Canon Canon EOS 550D) in file C:\SFMToolkit3\samples\Myimage\IMG_7655.jpg
    How can i solve this . if i want to add camera ccdwidth to extract_focal.pl. How can i do that in windows?

  18. Henri says:

    @swee: You just need to add the ccd width of your camera in “cameras.xml”. You can find easily the ccd width on http://www.dpreview.com.

    Hi,
    I´m really interested in your work. We´re studying it at uni. But I can´t get the toolkit to run. I´m on WinXP 64bit, have copied the sfmtoolkit3 folder to c:\ and receive this error message: “Line: 85, Char: 3, This app has failed to start cause the app config is incorrect. Reinstalling may fix the problem”
    Do you have any suggestions? The application isn´t really installed, is it? So I can´t reinstall it, right?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  20. Jon A says:

    Doest the camera you take the photos with have to be ccd, or does a cmos camera work as well?

  23. Ivy Wong says:

    hi,
    I am really interested in your work. I am studying it. But is there any doc or help to follow, cause the Photogrammetry forum has been removed. And I can’t get it work on Window 10, even in the compatibility mode.

  24. Ajay Dashora says:

    Hi, I just downloaded the zip files of sfmtoolkit3 from github repository. But there is no help file that confirms the compilation process of the code. Also, I could not locate any exe file. I am using WINDOWS 10 but I could not understand that how to compile or create exe file from the code give. Please advice…Thanks in advance for your great help….Ajay
