Top 15 OpenMVS Alternative and Similar Softwares | Nov 2024

OpenMVS is a library focusing on Multi-View Stereo reconstruction. It aims to fill a gap in the photogrammetry chain-flow by providing algorithms to recover the full surface of the scene to be reconstructed. The input is a set of camera poses plus the sparse point-cloud and the output is a textured mesh.

OpenMVS mainly covers:

- dense point-cloud reconstruction for obtaining a complete and accurate as possible point-cloud
- mesh reconstruction for estimating a mesh surface that explains the best the input point-cloud
- mesh refinement for recovering all fine details
- mesh texturing for computing a sharp and accurate texture to color the mesh

1. Acute3D Smart3DCapture

Acute3D Smart3DCapture The principle of Smart3DCapture™ is to analyze several photographs of a static subject, taken from different viewpoints, and to automatically detect pixels corresponding to a same physical point. From many such correspondences, relative orientations of photos and accurate 3D shape of the scene can be inferred.Smart3DCapture™ solves this problem with......
