Bundler is a structure-from-motion (SfM) system that takes unordered image collections with features and matches and produces a 3D reconstruction of camera parameters and sparse scene geometry. It uses incremental reconstruction with sparse bundle adjustment and includes utilities like Bundle2PMVS for exporting to multi-view stereo systems.

Use cases

• reconstruct 3D scene geometry from a set of photos
• estimate camera poses from unordered image collections
• run bundle adjustment on camera and point data
• convert SfM output to PMVS for dense multi-view stereo
• undistort images using estimated radial distortion parameters

When to choose

• you need classic incremental SfM for unordered photo collections
• you want a research-grade bundle adjustment engine with PMVS export
• you are working on photogrammetry or 3D vision research and can build C/C++ tools

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with recent fixes and support
• you want dense reconstruction out of the box without external tools
• you need a modern GPU-accelerated SfM pipeline like COLMAP
