The 3D-Arch workshop was really inspiring: it was really great meeting people working on the same subject, exchanging idea… and the place was really nice too. I couldn’t resist to create some PhotoSynth of the place for future reconstruction: dragon, eagle, statue, door, …

• Andrea Fusiello showcased amazing results with Samantha: reconstruction without any camera calibration needed (neither Exif data).
• Jean-Philippe Pons announced that his dense multi-view reconstruction solution will be incorporated in Autodesk PhotoFly.
• Marc Pierrot-Deseilligny presented Apero: an open-source bundle adjustment software for automatic calibration and orientation of set of images (needs calibrated camera).

I should have published this post sooner but I wanted to make a double post with my new OpenSynther results… CMVS support in PhotoSynthToolkit is coming! You should expect another post next week with nice results
