AliceVision is a Computer Vision and Photogrammetry framework for generating a textured 3D model from an unordered set of photos. The library provides algorithms for 3D reconstruction and match moving and is organized into modules for feature extraction, image matching, features matching, camera calibration and localisation, depth maps estimation, meshing and texturing.

The library is cross-platform and distributed as open source with the Mozilla Public License. It relies on open standard and file formats (OBJ, glTF, OpenEXR, Alembic) to facilitate interoperability with other software[1].

Meshroom

Example of Meshroom graphical user interface with a 3D model reconstructed from a set of unordered images.
The nodal-based graphical user interface of Meshroom showing the 3D reconstruction pipeline.

Meshroom is the graphical user interface built around AliceVision. The main feature is its nodal system which allows the 3D reconstruction process to be modeled as a pipeline of nodes. Each node corresponds to a step in the reconstruction process and the result of each node can be used as input to another node. This allows the process to be customized and adapted to different needs depending on the type of applications.[1] Each node can be run locally on the computer or remotely on multiple computers in parallel in a render farm.

Meshroom is used since 2014 mainly in digital environment creation for the Visual Effects industry[2][3] and in many other industries such as augmented reality for medical applications[4], conservation and digitization of cultural heritage[5][6], archaeology[7][8][9], biology[10][11][12], 3D reconstruction of insects[13], video surveillance[14], 3D printing[15][16][17], tourism[18][19], creation of 3D models for virtual reality[20][21][22][23], forensic science[24][25][26] and building inspection[27][28][29].

Plugins have been developed to improve interoperability with other software tools: Blender[30][31], Autodesk Maya[32] and Houdini[33].

AliceVision Association

The AliceVision project is supported by the ALICEVISION association, “a non-profit organization whose ambition is to democratize 3D digitization technologies from photographs”[34]
