Our Mission

• Extend awareness of the power of 3D reconstruction from images/photogrammetry by developing a C++ framework.

Our Vision

• Simplify reproducible research with easy-to-read and accurate implementation of state of the art and "classic" algorithms.

Our Credo

• "Keep it simple, keep it maintainable".
  • OpenMVG is designed to be easy to read, learn, modify and use.
  • Thanks to its strict test-driven development and samples, the library allows to build trusted larger systems.

Our codebase and pipeline

OpenMVG provides an end-to-end 3D reconstruction from images framework compounded of libraries, binaries, and pipelines.

• The libraries provide easy access to features like: images manipulation, features description and matching, feature tracking, camera models, multiple-view-geometry, robust-estimation, structure-from-motion algorithms, ...
• The binaries solve unit tasks that a pipeline could require: scene initialization, feature detection & matching and structure-from-motion reconstruction, export the reconstructed scene to others Multiple-View-Stereovision framework to compute dense point clouds or textured meshes.
• The pipelines are created by chaining various binaries to compute image matching relation, solve the Structure from Motion problem (reconstruction, triangulation, localization) and ...

OpenMVG is developed in C++ and runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
