Progressive multiview stero is an implementation of an algorihm taking a sparse 3D model (result of structure from motion software) and outputs a dense set of surface patches. Due to its progressiveness, the output gets more and more accurate the longer it runs.

We use the cmake framework for compilation and installation. The software is currently only tested in a Linux environment. First make sure that you install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake libeigen3-dev libjpeg-dev libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev
then you should be able to get and compile hpmvs with:
git clone https://github.com/alexlocher/hpmvs
cd hpmvs
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
The binary hpmvs takes an nvm-file as input and you have to specify an output directory:
./hpmvs --nvm=<nvm-file> --outdir=/tmp
