Build bundle adjustment project (C/C++)

1. Windows

1. Modify CMakeList.txt

   From ./ceres_bundle_adjustment/CMakeLists.txt:

       ...
    18 if (WIN32)
    19     # copy dlls
    20     set(CERES_ROOT_DIR "{root}/ceres")
       ...
    34 endif()
       ...
   

   change {root} to your own (e.g., C:/Users/hjoon) ceres root directory as explained in the installation guide.

2. Run CMake

   Install CMake if not already installed: https://cmake.org/install/

   Navigate to ./ceres_bundle_adjustment, make build directory, and run cmake

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
   

3. Compile and build

   Once CMake build is complete, open the generated ./ceres_bundle_adjustment/build/CeresMulticamCalib.sln in Visual Studio and build the project as Release, x64:

   

   This will generate CeresMulticamCalib.exe inside ./ceres_bundle_adjustment/build/bin/Release/:

   

(cf) Running CeresMulticamCalib.exe will look something like this:

You do not need to directly run CeresMulticamCalib.exe. Python codes will run it as explained in the section II. of this tutorial.

2. Linux

1. Build the depdency If you can't find GLIBCXX_3.4.30 by running

    strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
   

   Please install it as follows

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
   

2. Run CMake

   Install CMake if not already installed: https://cmake.org/install/

   Navigate to ./ceres_bundle_adjustment, make build directory, and run cmake

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
   

3. Make runnable CeresMulticamCalib

   Compile the exectuable CeresMulticamCalib

    make
   

   For the python code, replace ROOT_DIR of /path/to/ceres_bundle_adjustment/config.h in L6

    L6: #define ROOT_DIR "/home/hongsuk.c/Projects/MultiCamCalib/ceres_bundle_adjustment"
