Mve: How to replace sfm?

I recommend running the MVE SfM (e.g., on a small subset of the images) just to see what the output is. For example, you need to put your intrinsics and extrinsics in the meta.ini file for each view. synth_0.out is only used to describe the tracks, but not for intrinsics/extrinsics. Let me know if you have any questions.

Also, if you're using a popular tool (bundler, VisualSfM) for your SfM reconstruction, makescene can actually read these formats.

Sorry, i forget to say that i also write the meta.ini file for each view, and i also did the undistorted image file.

Then you have to give me some more data points. Please post the dmrecon error message you're getting, show me one of the meta.ini files, ls one of your view directories, and make sure the scene shows up properly in UMVE.

MVE_terminal_dmreconFail.txt
This is the dmrecon error message

view_0044.mve.zip
This is one of my view directories with the meta.ini file inside it

synth_0.zip
This is my synth_0.out file

And i have already tried running this same scene directory with the full MVE pipeline, and it works just fine, so i have excluded problems with the dataset, probably something arround the synth file.

I am pretty certain there is something wrong with your bundle file synth_0.out. For example, your point visibilities look like this:

3 23 0 0 53 0 0 56 0 0

and the format is

<num observations> <img id> <sift id> <reproj. error> ...

where all of your SIFT IDs are 0. The reprojection error is indeed ignored, but I the SIFT IDs are important.

I will look more into it, but i tried using 0 in the SIFT IDs with the MVE complete pipeline and it worked fine, so i thought that it wasn't important.

Actually you might be right, feature IDs are not important after bundle adjustment. Then maybe your coordinate systems are off, i.e., the 3D feature points don't properly project back into the images. It could be an issue with the 3D feature coordinate system, or with the extrinsic parameters. An easy way to check that is to use UMVE and check your scene visually.

The camera transformation matrix in the synth_0 file is the world to camera matrix or the camera to world matrix?

It's the world to camera transform.
