OpenDTAM

An open source implementation of DTAM

Based on Newcombe, Richard A., Steven J. Lovegrove, and Andrew J. Davison's "DTAM: Dense tracking and mapping in real-time."

On Ubuntu, you need the qtbase5-dev and libopencv-dev packages

Build Instructions On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Notice: This repo now tracks my OpenCV repo which is a fork of OpenCV 3.0. Unless you're a real masochist, you want to use the 2.4.9_backport branch. I will do my best to keep that as a easy to compile branch.

For building OpenDTAM, here is a brief instruction on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Install dependencies

qtbase5-dev

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev

libopencv-dev

sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

boost

sudo apt-get install libboost1.48-all-dev

CUDA

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-cuda-dev

Build OpenDTAM

cd OpenDTAM/Cpp
mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake ..
make

Run OpenDTAM

./a.out

Trouble Shooting

Running "pkg-config --modversion opencv" will tell you what version you have. Hopefully it is close to 2.4.9 if you're on the backport branch. All bets are off if you're on the master.

You may have problems with the versions of the dependencies, if so you may be able to resolve them by installing the required ones according to the messages output by cmake.

The Trajectory_30_seconds directory may reside in different path in your system, you can modify them in testprog.cpp before running make.

Or if none of this works compile OpenCV 2.4.9 from source on your machine.
Then send me an email with the output of cmake (something like " -- Detected version of GNU GCC: 46 (406) .......")
and also the output of
"cmake -L"
and I can tell you what you need to do.
