Known Bugs

• using a GCP file, the resized images must be very close in size to the originals, or it will either fail or come out very weird.
• OpenSfM uses a lot of memory in systems with a high number of processors. For now, use --opensfm-processes n where n is smaller than your total number of cores (find that out by running nproc)
