+
+If your project is called `my_project` and is stored in `/path/to/my_project`
+then if you were to look at the `tree` inside `/path/to/my_projet` after COLMAP
+has been run you should see something like.
+
++── images
+│   +── image1.jpg
+│   +── image2.jpg
+│   +── ...
++── sparse
+│   +── 0
+│   │   +── cameras.bin
+│   │   +── images.bin
+│   │   +── points3D.bin

+## Before COLMAP has been run
+
+If you are starting from scratch you should only need the `images` subfolder.
+The argument `basedir` in the different functions in the COLMAP wrapper refers
+to the project directory and not to the image directory.
+
+```python
+from nerf_homemade.poses.pose_utils import gen_poses
+gen_poses('/path/to/my_projet')
