And the best part is, even though you may not have supercomputers laying around the house, you can build your own Photosynth at Photosynth.net. en Tue, 21 May 2013 11:17:32 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 11:17:32 GMT Rev9 Re: Silverlight powered Photosynths for NASA It's Johnny Five!

Is the synthing software using CUDA (with the quadro FX hardware that might be in there) or simple CPU (with or without SSE4.1 optimizations)?

You don't _need_ a Cray to be able to synth these. In my case I had thousands of pictures, and some software that the PS team gave me to try synthing offline. It was faster for me to iterate through my pictures down to a set that 'worked' by using the cray to synth them.

Once I had the 'good' set of images, I then used the 'standard' way of doing it -- uploading to Photosynth.net and having it build the rover synth.
