This is a dieted version of COLMAP (https://github.com/colmap/colmap) with removed parts that are too miscellaneous or unrelated to SfM, to help beginners get to the core SfM algorithms directly and intuitively.
The entry point to the main program is in src/main.cc.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja
ninja
# Command line mode
./colmap sfm --image_path /path/to/image/folder
--workspace_path /path/to/store/database
(optional args)
# GUI mode
./colmap gui
