That said, you still need a camera. We have Canon 600D, but you can get away with even cheaper cam. Even a smartphone cam will do the trick (sort of).
VisualSFM

VisualSFM is a free GUI application for photo scanning.

“This software (CMVS) takes the output of a structure-from-motion (SfM) software as input, then decomposes the input images into a set of image clusters of manageable size.” I couldn’t describe it better than that. Image clusters. Decompose. That’s so nerdy. It turns me on.
MeshLab

MeshLab is the open source software for editing of unstructured 3D meshes.
Blender

Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. Great for visualizing the 3D scans, you bet!

For those asking "Surface Reconstruction Poisson" is now under Filters > Remeshing, Simplification and Reconstruction > Screened Poisson Surface Reconstruction Octree Depth is now Reconstruction Depth Also "Quadratic Edge Collapse Decimation" is now called "Simplification: Quadratic Edge Collapse Decimation" in the same menu

Great video Gleb, thanks. One quick tip that will slightly speed up reconstruction is that VisualSFM has to be told to use CUDA for its calculations, it doesn't do it by default. In one of the menus (I don't have it nearby to check the exact names, sorry) there is the option "use CUDA" and a few parameters to play with. It should make a difference for you.
@GlebAlexandrov 7 жыл бұрын
You're right, thanks for mentioning this. I enabled CUDA, but I forgot to actually compare it to non-CUDA calculation time. It may speed things up.

Another metod of getting a picture sequence to work with, is this: Shoot a video (or find a suitable video clip elsewhere) where you circle the motive. Load the video into Photoshop. Export the video render BUT as a picture sequence. save all the pictures in a folder. In Explorer you size explorer so that you have thumbnails in sequence but with e.g. 10 columns of pictures in the viewpane. Box select the left column from top to bottom and copy those pictures to a different folder. You now have every 10 frame saved. That will decrease the number of files to work with. You can repeat as necessary.
@rob679 7 жыл бұрын
You can do that, but keep in mind that movie is recorded in much less resolution that taking shots. More resolution of sequence - better results.

Please Help! All works fine with the example fotos. But everytime I take pictures on my own in VSFM I end up with only 3 Cams (of originally 92 ...). What am I doing wrong or is there some special trick while taking the pics? (Only tried tiny stuff like a PS Controler e.g. and ofcourse I did it 360° from various angles so they all should be able to get matched ...)

in VSFM all good after Matching doubles but something wrong after Reconstruction step. It allways matches like 3 or 4 fotos together before it starts over again from blanc ... :'(

Happy finally you decide to try out free/open source solution vs 123 catch. Great tutorial like always. You can do the Poisson surface reconstruction also with CloudCompare , for some complicated model you can get better result than MeshLab. Personally when i do Poisson surface reconstruction i set to 12 8 1 1 and when apply Quadric Edge collapse i check preserve Topology Just a small terms mistake, if you do a camera movement closer to the subject you DON'T zoom but you do a dolly mouvement (Dolly mouvement : motion towards or motion from.), when you zoom you change focal length and the consequence is you change also the perspective ( is already a sort of special effect), if you do a dolly mouvement , or in short a dolly, is more natural movement for human eyes.

I wrote short alghoritm for the latest Meshlab version, because some places has different names Meshlab version version:2020.07. Based on video: ------------ File-> Open project...-> \.nmv -> Select Vertices -> select unneeded vertices and delete them File-> Import Mesh -> \.ply (also delete unnessecary vertices from .ply mesh) ------------- 1. To generate poligonal surface: Filters -> "Remeshing,Simplification and Reconstruction" -> -> "Surface Reconstruction: Screened Poisson" ------------- 2. Simplify Geometry: Filters -> Remeshing,Simplification and Reconstruction -> Simplicification: Quadric Edge Collapse Decimation ------------- 3. Before adding texture: Filters -> Cleaning and Repairing -> repair non Manifold Edges by removing faces ------------- 4. Adding texture: Filters -> Texture -> Parametrization + texturing from registered rasters. ------------- 5. Export to ".obj" file: File -> Export Mesh As... -> Files of type: ".obj" (Alias Wavefront Object) Uncheck "Normal" Press "OK" ------------- Then edit with Blender. :)
