Meshroom Overview
Meshroom is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the photogrammetry program AliceVision. For ease of understanding, the term Meshroom is used below to refer to the entire photogrammetry program.
Part of this project, was to deploy a Feature Matching Algorithm into a real-world use case, specifically 3D-Scanning. In order to achieve this, the photogrammetry program Meshroom was used and the following part of the Wiki will serve as developer documentation for future research and development.
The above image displays the Meshroom User Interface. It is split into the Images, Image Viewer, 3D Viewer and Graph Editor Sections. The official Meshroom Beginner Tutorial can be found here and the full tutorial, including installation instructions can be found here.
Images can be imported by dragging and dropping them into the Images Section.
In the Graph Editor section, the current pipeline is displayed. It can be edited by right clicking and adding new nodes or selecting a node and changing it's parameters.
The 3D Viewer section can display different outputs of the pipeline, such as the Point Cloud or Meshing.
The following section covers the implementation of custom nodes by example of the DFM program.
