Hi guys!

Just that...Wondering if there's any easy FOSS photogrammetry software that I could run from the phone. Alternatively, what would be the easiest one to run from my computer to experiment with it?

Thanks!

Meshroom is FOSS, relatively easy to use and works out of the box. It is industrial quality and is widely used in cinema and untertainment industry. So, I think it's the go to if you want something robust and usable.

NVidia provide several reasearch software to do Radiance Field stuff on their github: https://github.com/NVlabs. They gives impressive results, but none of them is user friendly. It's reasearch stuff.

Photogrammetry is very computationally expensive, I don't think current phones have what it takes to do it in an appropriate amount of time.

On PC, COLMAP is the OG suite, its data format is widely used even outside of COLMAP itself, for example in gaussian splatting or NeRf.

It's FOSS of course.

I've played around with Meshroom in the past.

Luma 3d, Heges, and Reality Capture for the phone.

Meshroom, Postshot, or Reality Capture for PC. Postshot is my favorite for producing great Gaussian splats / point clouds. Meshroom is solid, open source software that can create high quality meshes. You’ll need a decent rig with a good Nvidia GPU.
