3. Run Time Parameters

There are the following run time parameters that can be used to adjust the results.

-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--resize-to <integer>
                      Resizes images by the largest side. Default: 2400
--job-dir-name <string>
                      Name of the output folder, only ASCII charaters can be
                      used. If not provided "reconstruction-with-image-size
                      -[resize-to]" will be used
--start-with <task>, -s <task>
                      Start with the provided task. Can be one of: resize |
                      opensfm | getKeypoints | match | bundler | cmvs | pmvs
                      | odm_meshing | odm_texturing | odm_georeferencing |
                      odm_orthophoto
--end-with <task>, -e <task>
                      Finish at the provided task. Can be one of: resize |
                      opensfm | getKeypoints | match | bundler | cmvs | pmvs
                      | odm_meshing | odm_texturing | odm_georeferencing |
                      odm_orthophoto
--run-only <task>     Run only one task. Can be one of: resize | opensfm |
                      getKeypoints | match | bundler | cmvs | pmvs |
                      odm_meshing | odm_texturing | odm_georeferencing |
                      odm_orthophoto
--use-opensfm         use OpenSfM to find the camera positions (replaces
                      getKeypoints, match and bundler steps)
--use-bundler         use Bundler to find the camera positions.
--force-focal <positive float>
                      Override the focal length information for the images
--force-ccd <positive float>
                      Override the ccd width information for the images
--min-num-features <integer>
                      Minimum number of features to extract per image. More
                      features leads to better results but slower execution.
                      Default: 6000
--matcher-threshold <percent>
                      Ignore matched keypoints if the two images share less
                      than <float> percent of keypoints. Default: 2.0
--matcher-ratio <float>
                      Ratio of the distance to the next best matched
                      keypoint. Default: 0.6
--matcher-neighbors <integer>
                      Number of nearest images to pre-match based on GPS
                      exif data. Set to 0 to skip pre-matching. Neighbors
                      works together with Distance parameter, set both to 0
                      to not use pre-matching. OpenSFM uses both parameters
                      at the same time, Bundler uses only one which has
                      value, prefering the Neighbors parameter. Default: 8
--matcher-distance <integer>
                      Distance threshold in meters to find pre-matching
                      images based on GPS exif data. Set to 0 to skip pre-
                      matching. Default: 0
--cmvs-maxImages <integer>
                      The maximum number of images per cluster. Default: 500
--pmvs-level <positive integer>
                      The level in the image pyramid that is used for the
                      computation. see
                      http://www.di.ens.fr/pmvs/documentation.html for more
                      pmvs documentation. Default: 1
--pmvs-csize < positive integer>
                      Cell size controls the density of reconstructions.
                      Default: 2
--pmvs-threshold <float: -1.0 <= x <= 1.0>
                      A patch reconstruction is accepted as a success and
                      kept, if its associcated photometric consistency
                      measure is above this threshold. Default: 0.7
--pmvs-wsize <positive integer>
                      pmvs samples wsize x wsize pixel colors from each
                      image to compute photometric consistency score. For
                      example, when wsize=7, 7x7=49 pixel colors are sampled
                      in each image. Increasing the value leads to more
                      stable reconstructions, but the program becomes
                      slower. Default: 7
--pmvs-minImageNum <positive integer>
                      Each 3D point must be visible in at least minImageNum
                      images for being reconstructed. 3 is suggested in
                      general.
--odm_meshing-maxVertexCount <positive integer>
                      The maximum vertex count of the output mesh. Default:
                      100000
--odm_meshing-octreeDepth <positive integer>
                      Oct-tree depth used in the mesh reconstruction,
                      increase to get more vertices, recommended values are
                      8-12, the default is 9
--odm_meshing-samplesPerNode <float >= 1.0>
                      Number of points per octree node, recommended and
                      default value: 1.0
--odm_meshing-solverDivide <positive integer>
                      Oct-tree depth at which the Laplacian equation is
                      solved in the surface reconstruction step. Increasing
                      this value increases computation times slightly but
                      helps reduce memory usage. Default: 9
--odm_texturing-textureResolution <positive integer>
                      The resolution of the output textures. Must be greater
                      than textureWithSize. Default: 4096
--odm_texturing-textureWithSize <positive integer>
                      The resolution to rescale the images performing the
                      texturing. Default: 3600
--odm_georeferencing-gcpFile <path string>
                      path to the file containing the ground control points
                      used for georeferencing. The default file is
                      gcp_list.txt. The file needs to be on the following
                      line format: easting northing height pixelrow pixelcol
                      imagename
--odm_georeferencing-useGcp
                      Enabling GCPs from the file above. The GCP file is not
                      used by default.
--odm_orthophoto-resolution <float > 0.0>
                      Orthophoto ground resolution in pixels/meter. Default:
                      20.0
--zip-results         Compress the results using gunzip

Use the parameters in the following way

./run.py --odm_meshing-maxVertexCount 110000 --odm_meshing-octreeDepth 11 …etc
