[OSM-talk] Reconstructing 3-d buildings from photographs

[Joseph Reeves]

I work at OA Digital [1] - a colleague of mine is working on very
similar work and we've had some fantastic results so far from our "51
headless 'vikings'" in Weymouth [2] [3]. We should have a pdf out with
all the details very soon - all Open Source Software, of course, some
of it even produced by original members of the team that went on to
become the Microsoft / Washington research body.

I'm told that the software currently in use is David Lowe's SIFT for
extracting features from input images; Bundler and PMVS for camera
calibration and 3D reconstruction; MeshLab for surface reconstruction
and texturing.

If people are interested I'll email again when our documentation is ready.

Cheers, Joseph
