OpenReco is an open-source photogrammetry and reality-capture platform designed to turn photographs into accurate 3D models, dense point clouds, textured meshes, DEMs, and orthomosaics.
Built for researchers, drone operators, surveyors, developers, hobbyists, and digital artists, OpenReco aims to provide a transparent and extensible alternative to proprietary photogrammetry software.
The project focuses on ease of use, performance, and reproducible workflows while embracing the open-source ecosystem. OpenReco supports image alignment, camera calibration, sparse and dense reconstruction, mesh generation, texturing, and export to common formats.
Whether you're reconstructing archaeological sites, creating digital twins, generating terrain models, or building assets for games and visualization, OpenReco provides a powerful foundation without licensing restrictions.
