good first contribution
👑 challenging
https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22feature+request%22
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
Details: #473
Meshroom has its own Remeshing/Simplification nodes. However, the following packages are more specialized.
https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes
MR plugin similar to https://niklasrosenstein.github.io/houdini-library/assets/nr_instant_meshes/ and https://github.com/knekke/blender_addons/blob/master/B28_InstantMeshesRemesh.py https://blenderartists.org/t/add-on-instant-meshes-remesh/1114982
Also: http://bakemyscan.org/ https://github.com/norgeotloic/BakeMyScan
(*and remaining processing time) Details: #426 https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/778
Add overheat protection for local computations (pause computation for cooldown)
IMPLEMENTED https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/pull/712

show images as 2D plane in 3d Viewer project images from camera position on the object #358
Combine point clouds using PCL https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/pull/425
similar to https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/index.php?title=Density https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCompare PCL could also be used http://www.pcl-users.org/Extract-Point-Density-td4045275.html
provide a node to compute dense point cloud from sparse point cloud or implement another solution for dense reconstruction
- also provided with some SLAM tools https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/266
Implementation as part of COLMAP https://github.com/mitjap/pwmvs https://demuc.de/papers/schoenberger2016mvs.pdf
provide a tool to correct the white balance of the images for a better final texture similar to https://lesterbanks.com/2018/12/easycorrect-nuke-gizmo-adjust-images/
similar to 2d features viewer but in 3d similar to depth map viewer

Use neural networks for create depth map https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/528#
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/GraphSfM 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.
