OpenMVG (open Multiple View Geometry) v1.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-01-04 // over 7 years ago
  • OpenMVG "Otocinclus" v1.1 is out.

    What's new:

    OpenMVG core:

    ๐Ÿ”‹ Features:

    Sfm:

    • Geodesy: Enable usage of GPS position priors for rigid & non rigid registration doc.

    Software:

    • โœจ Geodesy: Enhance GCP registration support
    • ๐Ÿ‘€ Enable the usage of a Cache system to handle large dataset on tiny computers {experimental feature} => see the -c option on main_ComputeFeatures and SfM softwares,
    • โž• Add a feature tracking demo (description based or local window based (KTL)).
    • localization: the binary can now localize a collection of images

    Samples:

    • โž• Add a sample that convert a spherical panoramic images into many pinhole images demo.

    General enhancement:

    ๐Ÿ— Build/Continuous integration:

    • โœ‚ Remove tinyThread optional dependency
    • ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use FLANN as a header only library
    • โž• Add a uninstall target

    Speed:

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improve Incremental SfM speed

    Memory usage:

    • Bundle Adjustment uses twice less memory,
    • GlobalSfM use less memory (avoid storage of normalized feature coordinates).

    ๐Ÿ’… Code Style:

    • ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use more C++11 feature (type alias)
    • Work on minimising the includes, use forward declarations, clean #ifdef #define
