#461 (pull request: https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/867)
Manual addition of EXIF data within Meshroom would be a good first contribution, with options for selecting 1 or N specific images, or All images, to apply the data to. https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/642
Maybe add support for ExifTool?
Show popup when a corrupted images is detected. https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/630 https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki/Images-cannot-be-imported https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/635
Notification sounds for success and error Details: #268
Change absolute paths to relative paths within Meshroom. Same for the Input and Output paths of the nodes #472
https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/864 Details: #473
hide "advanced" values for choice param in Meshroom. Example to hide: sift_ocv This could work well with alicevision/meshroom#676 (comment)
We could use the existing Lensefun database to get the distortion parameters for over 1000 lenses. The database is licensed under CC_BY-SA_3.0 and could be integrated similar to the sensor database. https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun https://wilson.bronger.org/lensfun_coverage.html (dropped 2016 https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/issues/10)
WIP https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/774
Meshroom has its own Remeshing/Simplification nodes. However, instant-meshes is more specialized.

ram, cpu, gpu usage
Add overheat protection for local computations (pause computation for cooldown)
IMPLEMENTED https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/712
- view of an image with matched features visible/highlighted #514
what cameras have contributed to a single point #512
When adding mp4 files to Meshroom, the Keyframe selection node is added to the Graph Once the node has been processed, the images are not automatically added as input. It should also be possible to use Augment reconstruction in some cases. Needs to be compatible with external computation. https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/232#issuecomment-540688506
#494 #450 View and correct and create tie points https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alicevision/DoVpPYzCQz0
(WIP, internal) It would be great to improve edges on Meshes

GeoDesc replace SIFT
LiXudong found a new algorithm that seems to replace SIFT. This algorithm is called GeoDesc and I don't know if you know this algorithm. Its GITHUB address is: https://github.com/lzx551402/geodesc
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alicevision/_5Eo6hqLBS8 There (on Github) is a more efficient than state-of-the-art open-source SfM system that surpasses the accuracy of OpenMVG (...) at the same time. The reconstruction system, named i23dMVS, ranks in the top 10 in tanks and temples dataset. Here the link to the project: https://github.com/AIBluefisher/EGSfM Since GraphSfM is partially based on (an early) version of OpenMVG and licensed under BSD 3-Clause, It should be possible to include this approach in Meshroom to accelerate large scale reconstructions.
