What 3DUNDERWORLD-SLS is

3DUNDERWORLD-SLS is a free Linux project for reconstructing point clouds from image sequences illuminated by patterned light. It provides CPU and GPU implementations of the reconstruction process and command-line tools that save results as PLY or OBJ files. Version 4.x is designed for setups using two or more cameras and includes a generic camera interface that programmers can extend. Camera acquisition itself is not implemented, so users must provide a camera class through the supplied interfaces. The project includes libraries for integration, CPU and GPU application examples, demo binaries, sample data, and a CMake script for building binaries and libraries. Listed dependencies are OpenCV 2, CUDA 6.0 or later, and glm. CUDA detection determines whether the default build creates both CPU and GPU constructors or only the CPU constructor. The software accepts camera image folders and calibration files, but does not provide real-time capture or mesh reconstruction. It is licensed under LGPL version 3 with additional permissions.
