Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-C++ developers

   The framework is primarily written in C++, which may be challenging for developers with limited experience in this language.

2. 02

   Limited support for real-time applications

   The computational requirements for processing multiple 2D images into a 3D model can be high, making it less suitable for real-time or interactive applications without significant hardware investment.

3. 03

   Resource-intensive and expensive at scale

   Processing large datasets of images requires substantial computational resources, which can become costly in production environments with high throughput requirements.

4. 04

   Limited community support compared to mainstream libraries

   As a niche tool focused on 3D reconstruction from multiple views, the user and developer communities are smaller, leading to fewer external contributions and slower issue resolution.

What it does well

• High accuracy in 3D reconstruction from multiple images.

• Support for various image formats and camera models.

• Extensive documentation and examples to facilitate usage.
