Version 0.1.1
- Nvidia GPU with compute capability >= 2.0
The framework was tested using Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit and libraries with the following version number.
-
CUDA 5
-
Python 2.7
-
sympy 0.7.1 or 0.7.3
It is recommended to use this version as the sympy.cse function in version 0.7.2 does not work for some expression (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15986.html).
-
Thrust 1.6
-
CUSP 0.3
-
numpy 1.6.1
-
swig 2.0.4

OpenOF comes with two examples, similarity transformation and bundle adjustement. To get started we recommend looking into the simpler model of the similarity transformation. To get the similarity transformation example running you need to execute the following commands.
- Move to OpenOF folder
$ cd Example
$ python similarityTransform.py
$ cd ..
$ cmake .
$ make
A C++ library as well as a Python library was created.
An example how to use the Python library can be found under ./Example. To run the Example proceed as follows:
$ cd Example
$ python runSimilarityTransformObj.py
or
$ python runSimilarityTransform.py
A more complex example is under Example/bundle.py (design) and Example/runBundle.py (runtime).
- In case you have version 0.7.2 of sympy you can downgrade with the following command
$ sudo pip install sympy==0.7.1
or upgrade to version 0.7.3.
-
Cuda 5 does not come with Thrust 1.6, please exchange the thrust version usually under /usr/local/cuda/include/thrust.
-
Cuda 5 is not working with gcc version 4.7 or higher. Try using an older gcc version.
-
Compiler error: /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected.
Make sure the path of the library doesn't contain any brackets.
