Never rely on wikipedia. After a long time I wanted to check if there are any interesting new photogrammetry projects, and thought of checking if there is a comparison page. There is one, and it doesn't even list VisualSFM and fucking AliceVision/Meshroom, or rather, is just an ad-page for proprietary commercial software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_photogrammetry_software
Turns out there used to be a long list, but a lobby-bought moderator has had free reign deleting everything, got god status at some point and nobody is allowed to question the guy.
People have been calling this shit out since 2018, but the industry seems to have an iron grip on everything photogrammetry related there. There is no way nobody ever wrote articles for those open source projects. Most likely they got deleted.
There is one about SFM (structure from motion, not valve's porn maker), but it also has no reference to VisualSFM and Meshroom, which are both mature open source implementations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_from_motion
