VisualSFM : A Visual Structure from Motion System

Install instructions
Below are the instructions for installing VisualSFM and its depending libraries. The GPU-acceleration
requires certain hardware, and please refer to FAQ if some GPU steps do not work for you.
Windows
1. Try launch VisualSFM. If it does not launch, please install MSVC2010 runtime (64bit, 32bit)
2. (optional step) Install Yasutaka Furukawa's CMVS software for dense reconstruction.
- Obtain the CMVS/PMVS binaries. For example, the ones by Pierre Moulon or by Henri Astre,
- Place cmvs/pmvs/genOption/pthreadVc2.dll in the same folder as VisualSFM.exe
3. Update your graphic card driver if something doesn't work!
Linux
* Check out Scott Sawyer's tutorial for Ubuntu and Martin Andrews's tutorial for Fedora
1. Make sure you have libgtk2.0-dev / gtk2-devel (2.18 or higher)
2. make (Do not lose your previous makefile modifications when updating)
3. Download SiftGPU code, and copy libsiftgpu.so to the vsfm/bin folder
- You may set 'siftgpu_disable_devil = 1' in the makefile to drop the dependency on DevIL
- The CUDA-enabled SiftGPU is needed for running programs remotely through terminal
4. Do one of the following for PBA (Multicore Bundle Adjustment)
Option-1 for nVidia CUDA compatible graphic cards:
Install CUDA toolkit, compile PBA, copy libpba.so to the vsfm/bin folder
Option-2 for all graphic cards:
Compile PBA using makefile_no_gpu, and copy libpba_no_gpu.so to vsfm/bin/libpba.so
5. Install Yasutaka Furukawa's CMVS software for dense reconstruction.
- Download and compile the CMVS/PMVS2 package or find precompiled binaries.
- Place cmvs/pmvs/genOption in the same folder as VisualSFM(or PATH)
6. Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH are set correctly
- Check dependency with ldd for libsiftgpu.so, libpba.so, ...
- VisualSFM will call dlopen("libsiftgpu.so"), dlopen("libpba.so"), system("pmvs.."), etc.
Mac OSX
* Check out the installers distributed by Dan Monaghan or by Ivn!
1. Install gtk+ through fink, homebrew, or mac-ports if you haven't
Modify makefile to specify the location of your pkg-config for gtk+2.0
2. Make sure you have X11+GLX+OpenGL support (not OpenGL framework)
- libGL.1.dylib, libGLU.1.dylib libX11.6.dylib
- Mesa3D might be an alternative if something is not working.
3. make (Do not lose your previous makefile modifications when updating)
- In case the GUI closes without any symptoms, try XQuartz 2.6.3.
- VisualSFM needs libstdc++, so I recommend using GNU G++ compiler.
4. Do the same steps as the steps 3-6 for Linux
- The SiftGPU and PBA code may not support Mac so well (for now).
- You may need small modifications to the code, or search for their Mac OSX ports.
