• Web resources : -

• [CMVS] http://grail.cs.washington.edu/software/cmvs/
• [windows porting] http://francemapping.free.fr/Portfolio/Prog3D/CMVS.html

• Windows => Use precompiled binary, or compile it with VS2008/2010 (Express or pro, Pro will allow you to enable Opemp in CMVS) => Use CMake GUI in order to generate the Visual Studio project file (in ./program you will find the main CMakeLists.txt).

• Linux => use makefile in program.

Or use CMake build system : => Install the following libraries : jpeg boost boost-graph

$ mkdir OutputLinux
$ cd OutputLinux
$ cmake . ..
$ make
=> That's all. Openmp is not activated yet.
Add openmp in the cmvs link option and define the _OPENMP cxx flags

To test it : ./WinX-VS2010/Readme.txt "Usage of the binaries"

What have been done on native Yasutaka Furukawa source code :

• Create the CMake build system for CMVS/PMVS2 and required library.

• Optimize a little bit JPEG image loading.

• Update CMVS source code in order to compile.

• Add changes from Nghia Ho http://nghiaho.com/

  • memoize pow(2,X)
  • Change GSL simplex to lmfit.

• Replaced GSL simplex/lmfit with nlopt optimizer

• Replaced image loading routines with CImg. Now PPMs are supported properly, with optional support for PNG and TIFF

• Replaced BLAS/LAPACK with Eigen

• Updated internal jpeg library and miniBoost

• CMake-system now supports system boost, jpeg and other libraries if available.

• Replaced pthread with tinycthread to get rid of pthread.dll on Windows
