sounds interesting.
I think its important to benchmark each stage. for alignment, reconstruction part 1 ie depth maps (gpu), part 2 creating model (cpu). then texturing. and maybe even simplify etc…
I’m mostly interested in seeing part 2 of reconstruction. since its by far longest part for my scenes.
but I’m not sure how useful seeing a few hundred photos will be. you won’t see how ram or ssd’s really effect speeds it all until you get into 2500 - 5000 photos. that will take a long time to benchmark though but would be more interesting.
this sounds like it could all be done with cli scripts and the demo version.
