How can I drop files from the commandline into Meshroom?


Have you tried using:

   meshroom_photogrammetry --input INPUT_IMAGES_FOLDER \
   --output OUTPUT_FOLDER

It is described on the GitHub page: 
https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom#start-meshroom


It is also included in the binary package.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't ever used Meshroom, except for the last few 
minutes, out of pure curiosity. Sadly I do not have a CUDA capable card, 
Meshroom won't start computing anything without it.

I can't vouch for it and the wiki article seems out of date, but the
repo does contain dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl.

That seems like a good starting point if it is current.  The last
update was in Jan, and it appears to use an ubuntu tarball and unpack
one of the deb files.

>From a glance at it the intent seems to be using the pro driver for
opencl support, and then using the open source amdgpu for graphics.
The ebuild warns that this is not an AMD-supported config.

marecki@g.o seems to be the maintainer of this package, so if you're
interested in collaborating on getting the entire thing working on
Gentoo you might consider reaching out to him.  The ebuild comments
suggest that this might be of interest, just not a priority.

I use the open source amdgpu in-kernel drivers on Ryzen integrated
graphics and aside from some panics six months ago when it was less
stable I've found they work well.  I don't do anything too serious
with the GPU - it is just a regular desktop from that standpoint not
used for gaming/etc.

[gentoo-user] Amdgpu-pro, anyone?

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Can anyone help me with installing the proprietary amdgpu-pro driver, please?

The open-source driver is running well, but it doesn't include OpenCL-2, which 
I'd like to use for its GPU acceleration of floating-point BOINC calculations.

I used to have this running, but now all support seems to have been removed 
from Gentoo sites. I may have used the guidance from Warwick University before 
(I'm not sure), but that's gone too now.

I've downloaded the package from the AMD site; it contains 50-odd .deb files 
and an installation script. I can't use the script directly, of course, 
because it wants to install in a Ubuntu or Steam system.
