Meshroom is a free, open-source 3D Reconstruction Software based on the [AliceVision](https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision) Photogrammetric Computer Vision framework.
|
||
|
||
Learn more details about the pipeline on [AliceVision website](http://alicevision.github.io).
|
||

||
See [results of the pipeline on sketchfab](http://sketchfab.com/AliceVision).

## Photogrammetry
|
||
|
||
Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs.
|
||
It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographs or videos.
|
||
Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information.
|
||
The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process.
|
||
|
||
See the [presentation of the pipeline steps](http://alicevision.github.io/#photogrammetry).

## Customization
|
||
|
||
### Custom Pipelines
|
||
|
||
You can create custom pipelines in the user interface and save it as template: `File > Advanced > Save As Template`.
|
||
You can define the `MESHROOM_PIPELINE_TEMPLATES_PATH` environment variable to specific folders to make these pipelines available in Meshroom.
|
||
In a standard precompiled version of Meshroom, you can also directly add custom pipelines in `lib/meshroom/pipelines`.
|
||
|
||
### Custom Nodes
|
||
|
||
You can create custom nodes in python and make them available in Meshroom using the `MESHROOM_NODES_PATH` environment variable.
|
||
[Here is an example](meshroom/nodes/blender/ScenePreview.py) to launch a Blender rendering from Meshroom.
|
||
In a standard precompiled version of Meshroom, you can also directly add custom nodes in `lib/meshroom/nodes`.
|
||
To be recognized by Meshroom, a custom folder with nodes should be a Python module (an `__init__.py` file is needed).

|
||
## Get the project
|
||
|
||
You can [download pre-compiled binaries for the latest release](https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/releases).
|
||
|
||
If you want to build it yourself, see [**INSTALL.md**](INSTALL.md) to setup the project and pre-requisites.
|
||
|
||
Get the source code and install runtime requirements:
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone --recursive git://github.com/alicevision/meshroom
|
||
cd meshroom
|
||
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Start Meshroom
|
||
|
||
You need to have [AliceVision](https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision) installation in your PATH (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/macOS).
|
||
|
||
- __Launch the User Interface__
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Windows
|
||
set PYTHONPATH=%CD% && python meshroom/ui
|
||
# Linux/macOS
|
||
PYTHONPATH=$PWD python meshroom/ui
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
On Ubuntu, you may have conflicts between native drivers and mesa drivers. In that case, you need to force usage of native drivers by adding them to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
|
||
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-340 PYTHONPATH=$PWD python meshroom/ui`
|
||
You may need to adjust the folder `/usr/lib/nvidia-340` with the correct driver version.
|
||
|
||
- __Launch a 3D reconstruction in command line__
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Windows: set PYTHONPATH=%CD% &&
|
||
# Linux/macOS: PYTHONPATH=$PWD
|
||
python bin/meshroom_batch --input INPUT_IMAGES_FOLDER --output OUTPUT_FOLDER
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Start Meshroom without building AliceVision
|
||
|
||
To use Meshroom (ui) without building AliceVision
|
||
* Download a [release](https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/releases)
|
||
* Checkout corresponding Meshroom (ui) version/tag to avoid versions incompatibilities
|
||
* `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/foo/Meshroom-2023.2.0/aliceVision/lib/ PATH=$PATH:~/foo/Meshroom-2023.2.0/aliceVision/bin/ PYTHONPATH=$PWD python3 meshroom/ui`
|
||
|
||
## Start and Debug Meshroom in an IDE
|
||
|
||
PyCharm Community is free IDE which can be used. To start and debug a project with that IDE,
|
||
right-click on `Meshroom/ui/__main__.py` > `Debug`, then `Edit Configuration`, in `Environment variables` :
|
||
* If you want to use aliceVision built by yourself add: `PATH=$PATH:/foo/build/Linux-x86_64/`
|
||
* If you want to use aliceVision release add: `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/Meshroom-2023.2.0/aliceVision/lib/;PATH=$PATH:/foo/Meshroom-2023.2.0/aliceVision/bin/` (Make sure that you are on the branch matching the right version)
