Is there any photogrammetry software that works with Intel Arc, except Metashape ?

[TheWonderfulPie]

My Metashape free trial expired a few months ago, and it's so hard to find info about compatibility of other photogrammetry software with Intel Arc, so do you know any ? All I could find is that Meshroom standard and RealityCapture only support CUDA

I tried MeshroomCL, but it always crashes as soon as I import the pictures

Please it would be awesome for Intel to push oneAPI to devs, so that super useful tools like RealityCapture and so much other software also work with Intel Arc, and not just CUDA, which is the norm

Anyone ? It's been over a week now

Hi @TheWonderfulPie 

I apologize for the +1 week delay in our answer, we actually try to answer within hours (Monday-Friday) but somehow this one went unnoticed. I'll check it out internally to determine what happened.

Regarding your question, Intel is constantly promoting and advertising Intel oneAPI with the developers community (we even have tools to help migrate from CUDA to oneAPI). 

Let me check if I can get a list of photogrammetry software compatible with Intel Arc GPUs and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Ronald M.

Hi again @TheWonderfulPie 

I did some exploration online and it seems most apps rely heavily on CUDA so I'll forward your observation to our oneAPI team for consideration.

I compiled a list of some photogrammetry apps which by looking at their system requirements might work. Note: if you find a bug with one please open a new thread to report it.

Agisoft Metashape: https://www.agisoft.com/downloads/system-requirements/
CUDA recommended, our GPUs support OpenCL so they may work.

VisualSFM: http://ccwu.me/vsfm/doc.html#hardware
No specific GPU required

Regard3D: https://www.regard3d.org/index.php/download
Any GPU supporting OpenGL

Reality Capture: https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/knowledge-base/Wj7B/capturing-reality-realitycapture-os-and-hardware-requirements
CUDA GPU recommended, you can still use it on other GPUs but you will not be able to create a textured mesh.

Autodesk ReCap Pro: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-ReCap-Pro-and-ReCap-Photo.html
GPU supporting OpenGL 3.3 and DirectX 11.
