Patented algorithms column in OpenSource SfM list? #36
Comments
OpenMVG, OpenSfM have natively multiple alternatives to SIFT for matching. As you said OpenMVG and Colmap are flexible and can ingest anything. Did were you thinking to other patents? |
Thanks for all the interesting info. I took notice of the In addition to SIFT, there's also SURF, which comes with similar restrictions. |

I must have missed that. Thanks. |
I think it would make sense to include information which software support evading the patented feature detection and matching algorithms, either by offering a choice of alternative algorithms (actually, none of the six does that, if I'm not wrong; OpenCV does!) or accepting pre-computed data as an additional input (colmap and OpenMVG seem to be capable of that).
