Scripts and programs are included with this distribution (and invokedīundler itself is typically invoked as follows: To simplify steps 1-3, a number of utility Run 'bundler' with a suitable options file.Īgain, running the RunBundler.sh script is the easiest way to.The computed feature matches are stored in a file called Match features between each pairs of images (this step can take a.Generate (SIFT) features for each image.(this extracts focal length information, when available, from each
Create a list of images using the script 'extract_'.A list of images containing estimatingįocal length information also must be created. Is the easiest to get working with Bundler ( RunBundler.shĪssumes that SIFT is used). To generate features and pairwise feature matches for the image set.Īny type of image features can be used, but Bundler assumes theįeatures are in the SIFT format, and so David Lowe's SIFT detector, RunBundler.sh takes care of all these steps for you,īut it's useful to know what's going on.
