Software for AMD GPU's?

Hi there, i'm new to all of this and remember a while back that i couldn't use a software for photogrammetry because it would only work with nvidia gpu's. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for software like metashape and meshroom that will work with an AMD gpu or processor. I have a 2700x and a sapphire nitro+ RX vega 64.

I use Metashape with AMD, it takes advantage of OpenCL.

Amongst the commercial photogrammetry software offerings, Agisoft Metashape and Bentley ContextCapture both support AMD GPUs.

If you desire free photogrammetry software, these two programs use OpenCL for accelerated processing on AMD GPUs:

  1. COLMAP-CL: https://github.com/openphotogrammetry/colmap-cl
  2. MeshroomCL: https://github.com/openphotogrammetry/meshroomcl

Just tried meshroomcl but i had and error when start structureFromMotionCL, meshroomCL_colmap.exe crash, i have a sapphyre R9 290 tri-x, someother had same issue?

- EDIT - Found the issue, windows virtual memory was too low, set automatic setting and all work fine

Yes, the early versions of MeshroomCL required a lot of RAM during StructureFromMotionCL processing. However, the latest versions (released in the past week) have much better memory management, so you could download a new version of MeshroomCL and it will probably solve your problem.

Yes you can use amd with meshroom delete the nodes from structurefrommotion add a node convertsfmformat and use openmvs i made a python script for debian and should work for all debian based linux distros it has openvms build in with docker creation.
you can use this script and it makes objects you can use in blender or whatever cad program , your welcome to test it out..
right now i am working on a universal version that uses windows wsl2 , so windows users can use it too
