In my previous post on Getting Bundler and friends running, I suggested how to modify an existing script to get Bundler and other structure from motion parts/pieces up and running. Here’s my follow up.
Install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Download (or clone) this repo:
https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/odm-vagrant
Navigate into the cloned or unzipped directory (on the command line), run
vagrant up
Go have a cup of coffee. Come back. Run
vagrant ssh
Congratulations. You have an Ubuntu machine capable of all sorts of StructureFromMotion / OpenDroneMap goodness.

This is great! Thanks. As a linux noob, the use of virtual development environments is definitely a huge PLUS. Any chance of getting visualsfm compiled in such an environment?
I’ve tried to get visualsfm installed in Ubuntu– definitely tricky. I don’t plan to spend much time on it as it is only usable for personal use…
At the end of this post you gave the following note: “Next: A tutorial on how to use the tools you just compiled…” and according to the time stamp: “This entry was posted on May 6, 2014 at 11:03 pm”.
I’m starting to wonder if you will ever be posting this tutorial you mentioned 11 months ago. 😉
Good point. I recommend going to the OpenDroneMap wiki!: https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/wiki
Thank you, this is information is also helpful for (or at least gives clues on how to use) other bundler type projects that package cmvs and pmvs. 🙂
