Archeological 3D Mapping: The Structure from Motion Revolution
- rbobby 10y agoI would guess eventually this tech will become handheld, networked, and fully automated. Sort of a tricorder for archaeologists. A few team members "wandering" around waving the device about and eventually the system will tell you that a model has been captured at the desired level of accuracy. Ubiquitous 3d models will make streetview look like an etch-a-sketch.
- BenoitP 10y agoI wonder if there is a market for a quickscan of a flat's interior+exterior for a realtor; that you later send to a 3D color printing service, playmobil scale. Maybe giving potential customers a scale model would help them materialize buying the property.
- ungzd 10y agoDoes anyone use some free/opensource software for this in practice? I tried the following: - https://colmap.github.io/ https://colmap.github.io/ all-included and has nice GUI but dense reconstruction is currently nvidia-only - http://ccwu.me/vsfm/ http://ccwu.me/vsfm/ I didn't succeed in building it, and it has restrictive license. Also comprehensive GUI - https://github.com/mapillary/OpenSfM https://github.com/mapillary/OpenSfM promising but lots of heavy python dependencies, tricky to set up and use. Tried only old version when it didn't have dense reconstruction
