Hi all,
as I promised, we are back with new post in ATOR. We start today with an experiment we wanted to do since long: a comparison between two Structure from Motion - Muti View Stereoreconstruction (SfM - MVS) suite. The first is Python Photogrammetry Toolbox, developed by +Pierre Moulon some years ago and integrated in ArcheOS 4 (Caesar) with the new GUI (PPT-GUI) written in Python by +Alessandro Bezzi and me. The second one is the evolution of PPT: openMVG, which Pierre is developing since some years and that will be integrated in the next releases of ArcheOS.
Our small test regarded just four pictures taken with a Nikon D5000 on an old excavation. We want to point out the speed of the overall process in OpenMVG, which gave a result compatible with the one of PPT.
In the image below you can have an overview (in +MeshLab) of the two pointclouds generated bye the different software: openMVG processed a ply file with 391197 points, while PPT gave us a result with 425296 points.

| Comparison of the two models generated by opnMVG and PPT |
The main different stays in the processing time. In fact, while PPT needed 16 minutes, 11 seconds and 25 tenths, openMVG complete the model in just 3 minutes, 28 seconds and 20 tenths.
Here below I report the log file of openMVG, where you can see each step of the process:
STEP 1: Process Intrisic analysis - openMVG_main_CreateList took: 00:00:00:00.464
STEP 2: Process compute matches - openMVG_main_computeMatches took: 00:00:01:13.73764
STEP 3: Process Incremental Reconstruction - openMVG_main_IncrementalSfM took: 00:00:00:47.47717
STEP 4: Process Export to CMVS-PMVS - openMVG_main_openMVG2PMVS took: 00:00:00:00.352
STEP 4: Process Export to CMVS-PMVS - openMVG_main_openMVG2PMVS took: 00:00:00:00.352
STEP 5: Process CMVS-PMVS took: 00:00:01:25.85958
--------------------
The whole detection and 3D reconsruction process took: 00:00:03:28.208258
STEP 2: Process compute matches - openMVG_main_computeMatches took: 00:00:01:13.73764
STEP 3: Process Incremental Reconstruction - openMVG_main_IncrementalSfM took: 00:00:00:47.47717
STEP 4: Process Export to CMVS-PMVS - openMVG_main_openMVG2PMVS took: 00:00:00:00.352
STEP 4: Process Export to CMVS-PMVS - openMVG_main_openMVG2PMVS took: 00:00:00:00.352
STEP 5: Process CMVS-PMVS took: 00:00:01:25.85958
--------------------
The whole detection and 3D reconsruction process took: 00:00:03:28.208258
We will go on in working and testing openMVG, hopfully posting soon news about this nice software.
