Building & running openMVS using Docker

Quick start:

  1. Make sure docker is installed on your local machine.

  2. Run the 'easy start' script, using the full local path to the folder with your SFM input files (perhaps output from openMVG or COLMAP):

    ./QUICK_START.sh /path/where/your/SFM/results/are

  3. This will put you in a directory (inside the Docker container) mounted to the local path you specified so that you can run openMVS binaries on your own SFM inputs. Enjoy!

Build from scratch:

You can also build the docker image from scratch based on the Dockerfile (perhaps with your own changes / modifications) using:

    ./buildFromScratch.sh /path/where/your/SFM/results/are

NOTES

  • This workflow is pinned to build from openMVS 1.0. To build from a different release, or build from the latest commit on master, open up the Dockerfile and comment/uncomment as directed.

  • Running openMVS binaries can use a lot of memory (depending on the size of your data set/ imagery). Docker has a relatively small default memory setting (2Gb on Mac). You will probably want to increase this before you run any larger workflows. From Docker desktop on Mac for example, just open the Docker GUI, go to the Advanced tab and increase via the slider:
