Changelog for v0.1-RC1

Huge update, we've incorporated a framework for processing along the toolchain and improved the installation process.

Installation

• cmake superbuild for all components
• Now you will run the following to install or update ODM:

bash ./configure.sh
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && cd ..

# copy paste the following (with correct directory structure) into your ~/.bashrc (or other preferred method) (requires logout/in to work)
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<ODMDIR>/SuperBuild/install/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:<ODMDIR>/SuperBuild/src/opensfm
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<ODMDIR>/SuperBuild/install/lib

Code restructure

• Object Oriented Code
• Ecto framework
• Project tree:
  • Your ODM project will have a more organized structure. One big change is that your images must be placed in a "images/" subdirectory in the project folder.
• Testing framework

Feature additions / changes

• Add XYZ pointcloud output
• benchmarking with --time
• Replacement of LASTools with PDAL
• Control script updates - --rerun-from, --rerun-all
• Remove local ccd_defs

Planned updates for next release (v0.1)
