Libmv multiview reconstruction and tracking library =================================================== Libmv is a simple multiview reconstruction library. It is not ready yet. If you're interested in contributing, see: http://code.google.com/p/libmv The short story: $ make $ bin-dbg/ui/tvr/tvr Try loading two images and making a reconstruction. This UI will almost certainly crash on you and may delete your harddrive. There's a reason we claim libmv is not finished! Building -------- Before building, make sure you have the following: * CMake 2.4 or newer. * Qt4. Then run $ make in the toplevel directory. This builds a debug version, and puts it in bin-dbg. To build an optimized version, do $ make release which puts optimized executables and libraries in bin-dbg/. To run the test suite, cd in to the appriate directory and run 'make test' $ cd bin-dbg $ make test Building uses CMake, so it is possible to build in other directories with different CMake flags. However, building inside the toplevel directory with CMake will fail; in other words DON'T DO THIS: $ ls AUTHORS contrib doc LICENSE Makefile README src $ cmake . $ make <-- Will fail. Instead do this: $ ls AUTHORS contrib doc LICENSE Makefile README src $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake ../src # Your options here $ make $ make test $ ... Problems -------- If you encounter problems running the test suite, please mail the mailing list or file a ticket on our Google code project page http://code.google.com/p/libmv/issues
