The popularity of Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques has significantly advanced 3D reconstruction in various domains, including construction site mapping. Central to SfM, is the feature extraction and matching process, which identifies and correlates keypoints across images. Previous benchmarks have assessed traditional and learning-based methods for these tasks but have not specifically focused on construction sites, often evaluating isolated components of the SfM pipeline. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of traditional methods (e.g., SIFT, AKAZE, ORB) and learning-based methods (e.g., D2-Net, DISK, R2D2, SuperPoint, SOSNet) within the SfM pipeline for construction site mapping. It also compares matching techniques, including SuperGlue and LightGlue, against traditional approaches such as nearest neighbor. Our findings demonstrate that deep learning-based methods such as DISK with LightGlue and SuperPoint with various matchers consistently outperform traditional methods like SIFT in both reconstruction quality and computational efficiency. Overall, the deep learning methods exhibited better adaptability to complex construction environments, leveraging modern hardware effectively, highlighting their potential for large-scale and real-time applications in construction site mapping. This benchmark aims to assist researchers in selecting the optimal combination of feature extraction and matching methods for SfM applications at construction sites.
