Phototourism:Compiling of PMVS2

[Guest]

Hello all,

I am trying to implement photo-tourism project. As a first step I am trying to compile what is already available online. There are some packages available from Washington University called
1. bundler(http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/bundler/),
2. pmvs2(http://grail.cs.washington.edu/software/pmvs/) and
3. cmvs (http://grail.cs.washington.edu/software/cmvs/).

These have to be compiled and implemented sequentially as given above. I am trying to implement them on a Ubuntu based 64-bit machine.

I was successful with bundler but run into a problem with pmvs. The package does not seem to have any binary files which I could execute and the documentation seems to indicate that it does. The CMVS package seems to be the next step in implementing photo-tourism which needs PMVS2 installed. I tried using the CMVS package which according to documentation is supposed to contain pmvs2 package along with some other essentials. This was'nt very successful either.

Could someone please help me in this regard? I would greatly appreciate any tips as well.

Thanks and Cheers

Just as a note, Firefox complained about the site twice having unsigned certificates and when I tried the "live demo" I got: Error: init failed: Unsupported OS / arch ( linux / AMD 64)

In Firefox it runs here (with warnings about mixed signed/unsigned code). You have to have a recent version of sun-javax-jre (and the -plugin) installed. I installed sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin from the console (there is a EULA you have to acknowlege - tab to both and press enter).
