It seems like the SYCL port of CUDA-Algorithms is quite finished, possibly enabling the use of Meshroom / AliceVision on PC without an NVIDIA GPU? What a crazy effort by the contributor(s)!

Exciting news for #photogrammetry aficionados - first development builds of #Meshroom with acceleration that does NOT require an #nVidia GPU are coming
https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/actions/runs/26523361228

You have no idea how long I've been wishing for this! Being vendor-locked in the #FOSS world feels extra weird, but until recently nobody has stepped up to improve this situation.

I've yet to test this myself, but the build passed and I am excitrd to throw some of my personal pictures at at and see what can I make!

At the survey point, the team places colourful ground control targets. Klaus Thymann uses a drone to take hundreds of high-resolution images of the area. The images are combined into a #photogrammetry model,

It’s been a while since I last did some large-scale photogrammetry. Here is the church of St Martin of Tours, near Oswestry on the England-Wales border.
