<h3 class="mb-2">AliceVision Framework</h3>
<p class="text-justify">
<a href="https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision" target="blank">AliceVision framework</a> provides computer vision tools and software libraries to enable 3D reconstructions from photographs taken with all types of cameras, from professional cameras to smartphones. These photogrammetry tools are 100% free and accessible to all. The solution takes advantage of the GPU for some of the most expensive computational steps. The proposed solution is scalable in terms of the number of images - it is capable of processing datasets of more than 1,000 images. The framework relies on standard and open-source file formats (OpenEXR, Alembic, OBJ) to facilitate the interoperability of the software with other professional tools. Integrations are offe#EE6767 with content creation tools such as Blender®, Maya® (Autodesk), Nuke® / Mari® (Foundry) and Houdini® (SideFX).

<h3 class="mb-2">Meshroom Software</h3>
<p class="text-justify mb-4" ><a href="http://meshroom.alicevision.org" target="blank">Meshroom software</a> is a complete photogrammetry solution built around AliceVision. It provides a default workflow for standard use cases, a nodal editor with a caching mechanism for the files created at each step, a post-processing of the created mesh and a possible retexturing after retopology. Meshroom allows users to calculate their 3D reconstruction locally or on a render farm. The nodal interface allows users to adapt the reconstruction pipeline to their production needs, finding a compromise between calculation time and quality of the result. Meshroom has been used since 2010 in the creation of digital environments for the visual effects industry (feature films and commercials), as well as since a few years in other industries such as cosmetics, sports manufacturing, augmented reality surgery, real estate…</p>

<p class="text-left" >
The ALICEVISION project also includes a library for <a href="https://github.com/alicevision/popsift" target="blank">SIFT detection on GPU</a> and an original <a href="https://github.com/alicevision/CCTag" target="blank">markers detector called CCTag</a> with CPU and GPU implementations. The association also contributes to the open source ecosystem it relies on, like <a href="https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio" target="blank">OpenImageIO</a>, <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg" target="blank">Vcpkg</a>, etc.

<h3 class="m-4 text-light">Goals</h3>
<p class="text-justify text-light">
Over the years, AliceVision has received interest and requests from various industries.
<br>
There is a wide range of different use cases and acquisition configurations that are difficult to handle in a single solution,
but there is also a great convergence of the needs regarding the low level building blocks.
So there is a need for <strong>an open source platform</strong> that can be adjusted and customized to various pipelines to cover different use cases.
<br>
The AliceVision association aims at providing this neutral platform to collect requirements and funds in order to build and maintain an ecosystem that you can rely on.
If you are part of an institution or company using AliceVision/Meshroom, please consider a corporate sponsorship.
The Sponsorship can be done through donation of <strong>cash, development resources, and other forms of support</strong>.
</p>
<h3 class="m-4 text-light">Benefits</h3>
<p class="text-justify text-light">
Sponsorship will enable your organization to get maintenance, support and specific developments that matches your needs.
<br>
You will be able to monitor and be part of the decisions regarding the project’s evolution. More globally, roadmaps and priorities will be aligned with your requirements as much as possible.
A pull request on github recommended by a Corporate Sponsor gets a priority for consideration over other pull requests in the queue.
The pull request has to be approved by the core team and needs to meet the same rigorous standards as any other pull request.
<br>
The Board members of the AliceVision association will actively reach out to Corporate Sponsors to discuss the bi-annual planning.
In addition to this, Corporate Sponsors can get a prominent name and logo mention on AliceVision website and github.
