I don't own this. But the original source is no longer online (insofar as I can tell) and the Wayback machine is currently the only source.

Given that, I wanted to post this here where it could exist in perpetuity, for my use and everybody else's, as well as being fork-able and helpful.

Credit where its due, I was originally introduced to the list via this post on server naming schemes. Also, apparently I'm not the first guy to have this idea.

VisualSFM by Changchang Wu

Probably the most straight forward way to start generating Point Clouds from a set of pictures.

VisualSFM is a GUI application for 3D reconstruction using structure from motion (SFM). The reconstruction system integrates several of my previous projects: SIFT on GPU(SiftGPU), Multicore Bundle Adjustment, and Towards Linear-time Incremental Structure from Motion. VisualSFM runs fast by exploiting multicore parallelism for feature detection, feature matching, and bundle adjustment.

For dense reconstruction, this program supports Yasutaka Furukawa's PMVS/CMVS tool chain, and can prepare data for Michal Jancosek's CMP-MVS. In addition, the output of VisualSFM is natively supported by Mathias Rothermel and Konrad Wenzel's [SURE]

Spurred by recent events (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8244700), this is a quick set of jotted-down thoughts about the state of "Semantic" Versioning, and why we should be fighting the good fight against it.

For a long time in the history of software, version numbers indicated the relative progress and change in a given piece of software. A major release (1.x.x) was major, a minor release (x.1.x) was minor, and a patch release was just a small patch. You could evaluate a given piece of software by name + version, and get a feeling for how far away version 2.0.1 was from version 2.8.0.

But Semantic Versioning (henceforth, SemVer), as specified at http://semver.org/, changes this to prioritize a mechanistic understanding of a codebase over a human one. Any "breaking" change to the software must be accompanied with a new major version number. It's alright for robots, but bad for us.

SemVer tries to compress a huge amount of information — the nature of the change, the percentage of users that wil
