An open source implementation of DTAM On Ubuntu, you need the qtbase5-dev and libopencv-dev packages

This is an experimental branch. It is currently the most up to date. In the future I intend to collapse the many branches of this project, because maintenance is getting a bit out of hand. Until then, try building commit a5f91d0cd58c3353ef56a3694648375f1c053082 on the main branch and use OpenCV 2.4.something

For building OpenDTAM, here is a brief instruction on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev

sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost1.48-all-dev

cd OpenDTAM/Cpp
mkdir Build
cmake ..
make

./a.out

Running "pkg-config --modversion opencv" will tell you what version you have. Hopefully it is close to 2.4.9 which is what commit a5f91d0cd58c3353ef56a3694648375f1c053082 was built for.

You may have problems with the versions of the dependencies, if so you may be able to resolve them by installing the required ones according to the messages output by cmake.

The Trajectory_30_seconds directory may reside in different path in your system, you can modify them in testprog.cpp before running make.

Or if none of this works compile a version of OpenCV from source on your machine.
Then send me an email with the output of cmake (something like " -- Detected version of GNU GCC: 46 (406) .......")
and also the output of
"cmake -L"
and I can tell you what you need to do.
