VisualSFM Alternatives

VisualSFM is described as 'Ble to run very fast by exploiting multicore parallelism in feature detection, feature matching, and bundle adjustment. In addition, VisualSFM (64-Bit) provides the interfaces to run Yasutaka Furukawa's PMVS/CMVS tool and to prepare data for Michal' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to VisualSFM for Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Python. The best VisualSFM alternative is Meshroom, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like VisualSFM are Agisoft Metashape, Regard3D, insight3dng and openMVG.
