Abstract
We survey the state of evaluation in current multiview reconstruction algorithms, with a particular focus on uncalibrated reconstruction from video sequences. We introduce a new evaluation framework, with high quality ground truth, as a vehicle for accelerating research in the area. Our source code is also freely available under the GNU General Public License, (GPL); a first for complete end-to-end reconstruction systems.
