  --force-ccd <positive float>
                        Override the ccd width information for the images
  --min-num-features <integer>
                        Minimum number of features to extract per image. More
                        features leads to better results but slower execution.
                        Default: 4000
  --matcher-threshold <percent>
                        Ignore matched keypoints if the two images share less
                        than <float> percent of keypoints. Default: 2.0
  --matcher-ratio <float>
                        Ratio of the distance to the next best matched
                        keypoint. Default: 0.6
  --matcher-neighbors <integer>
                        Number of nearest images to pre-match based on GPS
                        exif data. Set to 0 to skip pre-matching. Neighbors
                        works together with Distance parameter, set both to 0
                        to not use pre-matching. OpenSFM uses both parameters
                        at the same time, Bundler uses only one which has
                        value, prefering the Neighbors parameter. Default: 8
  --matcher-distance <integer>
                        Distance threshold in meters to find pre-matching
                        images based on GPS exif data. Set to 0 to skip pre-
                        matching. Default: 0
  --opensfm-processes <positive integer>
                        The maximum number of processes to use in dense
                        reconstruction. Default: 9
  --use-opensfm-pointcloud
                        Use OpenSfM to compute the point cloud instead of PMVS
  --cmvs-maxImages <integer>
                        The maximum number of images per cluster. Default: 500
  --pmvs-level <positive integer>
                        The level in the image pyramid that is used for the
                        computation. see
                        http://www.di.ens.fr/pmvs/documentation.html for more
                        pmvs documentation. Default: 1
  --pmvs-csize < positive integer>
                        Cell size controls the density of
                        reconstructionsDefault: 2
  --pmvs-threshold <float: -1.0 <= x <= 1.0>
                        A patch reconstruction is accepted as a success and
                        kept if its associated photometric consistency measure
                        is above this threshold. Default: 0.7
  --pmvs-wsize <positive integer>
                        pmvs samples wsize x wsize pixel colors from each
                        image to compute photometric consistency score. For
                        example, when wsize=7, 7x7=49 pixel colors are sampled
                        in each image. Increasing the value leads to more
                        stable reconstructions, but the program becomes
                        slower. Default: 7
  --pmvs-min-images <positive integer>
                        Each 3D point must be visible in at least minImageNum
                        images for being reconstructed. 3 is suggested in
                        general. Default: 3
  --pmvs-num-cores <positive integer>
                        The maximum number of cores to use in dense
                        reconstruction. Default: 9
  --mesh-size <positive integer>
                        The maximum vertex count of the output mesh Default:
                        100000
  --mesh-octree-depth <positive integer>
                        Oct-tree depth used in the mesh reconstruction,
                        increase to get more vertices, recommended values are
                        8-12. Default: 9
  --mesh-samples <float >= 1.0>
                        Number of points per octree node, recommended and
                        default value: 1.0
  --mesh-solver-divide <positive integer>
                        Oct-tree depth at which the Laplacian equation is
                        solved in the surface reconstruction step. Increasing
                        this value increases computation times slightly but
                        helps reduce memory usage. Default: 9

                        camera. Default: False
  --gcp <path string>   path to the file containing the ground control points
                        used for georeferencing. Default: None. The file needs
                        to be on the following line format: easting northing
