A library for solving the satellite structure from motion problem

Maintained by Kai Zhang.

Overview

• This is a library dedicated to solving the satellite structure from motion problem.
• It’s a wrapper of the VisSatSatelliteStereo repo for easier use.
• The outputs are png images and OpenCV-compatible pinhole camreas readily deployable to multi-view stereo pipelines targetting ground-level images.

Installation

Assume you are on a Linux machine with at least one GPU, and have conda installed. Then to install this library, simply by:

Inputs

We assume the inputs to be a set of .tif images encoding the 3-channel uint8 RGB colors, and the metadata like RPC cameras.
This data format is to align with the public satellite benchmark: TRACK 3: MULTI-VIEW SEMANTIC STEREO.
