2.compile PTAM
1. first try with https://github.com/hustcalm/PTAM-opencv since I don't have a 1394 camera and using webcam. Thanks to them, they have writed things work with opencv camera.
2. things you will need.
these are things needed to compile LibCVD, TooN, and GVars3(they are already in the PTAM-opencv project) , download X64 version if there exist.
3. trying to compile libcvd
change the properties adding the header files libs path and and debug is OK!!!

custom build的问题，打开.vcxproj，搜
custom build，可以看到这个build在干什么，仔细对比，发现debug和release的不同。
check this carefully!

全部改一样，build success!!!!
4. trying to compile gvar3
path to prebuild.2
path to fltk2.0 (download it from web)
do it for both of the project.
build success!!!
5. trying to build PTAM
calibration
path to include files.
change to opencv camera rather than 1394, change to the file VideoSource_Linux_OpenCV.cc
adding the right .cc files, why this happenning...
link error... probably beacause of the opencv cv and other things in X86/X64
make sure all things are x64 version. X86 have pthreadVC2, VCE2, VSE2 x64 only have VC2. hopefully...
build success!!!
run missing dll.
add dlls like:
Search MSDN for "How to: Set Environment Variables for Projects". (It's Project>Properties>Configuration Properties>Debugging "Environment" and "Merge Environment" properties for those who are in a rush.)
The syntax is NAME=VALUE and macros can be used (for example, $(OutDir)).
For example, to prepend C:\Windows\Temp to the PATH:
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\Temp;%PATH%Similarly, to append $(TargetDir)\DLLS to the PATH:
PATH=%PATH%;$(TargetDir)\DLLS
missing .... libifcoremdd.dll
this is fortran things....
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/redistributable-libraries-for-the-intel-c-and-visual-fortran-composer-xe-for-windows/ down things here and add them to path.;
missing... MSVCR120D.dll
Ultimate solutions here!!!
these is all because of LAPACK & BLAS...
For this purpose we patched the LAPACK-3.5.0 source codes, compiled them using Intel ® Fortran compiler 2013 and linked with Miscrosoft Visual Studio 12:
try to find dll lib dependency with depency walker
fllow these guys, and use the MT version of libs and compile
unresolved external symbol dgesvd_
THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF WRONG LIB AND DLL OF Lapack !!! REMEMBER! the lapack lib and dll should be exactly the same of the PTAM project setting, X64, compiler, MT
try to download the source here http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/lapack/#lapacke and compile them!
here is a version of X64 VS2012 MT http://ylzhao.blogspot.hk/2013/10/blas-lapack-precompiled-binaries-for.html
work!!!
make sure that all of the libs/dll are compiled/downloaded in exactly the same way!! X64 debug/release MT/MTD!!
6.compile PTAM
.h and .cc files are missing, add them all.
change camera things to opencvs
solve stranage .h files included. comment out#include <unistd.h>
done! running!
3. calibration and run
http://wiki.ros.org/ethzasl_ptam/Tutorials/camera_calibration
run calibration first,
copy the setting.cfg to project path where camera.cfg saved by the calibration.
ENJOY!
