It makes for a cool demo but all the applications that could benefit from this need much higher quality textures and better dimensional accuracy. Also there are certain cases where this fails, reflective or partially transparent surfaces, lack of texture, etc.

Object detection can 'normalise' the shape of your couch from a noisy input, and the upscaling algorithms we've seen recently can clean up the textures. It's only an aggressive short-term R&D effort away from being terrifying.

  I can already see deep learning applied to normal maps of the various (+coloured) surfaces at home. You could then deep-filter the inputs and get a higher-resolution version of the same.

This is nascent technology. Just wait for this to become ubiquitous. There are so many fantastic uses for this technology. I'm excited about 3D capturing environments and never needing to film on set again. Imagine having a database of locations at your disposal.

  I'm working on a PoC (8000 m², outdoor, historic train station building complex). In case you're interested, I'm still searching for a small dataset (5~10m long segment of a buildings outdoor wall, including ground and ornaments/nearby objects) to tune the photogrammetry pipeline on. If you have access to a global shutter camera with 4k or more and a a mode with no chroma subsampling and intra-only encoding (frame rate doesn't matter, it just takes longer), get in touch for a preview/demo.

    I'm interested and have a 12 MP global shutter camera, complete control over chroma, not sure what you mean by intra-only encoding though?

      Basically only I-frames, no P or B frames. Chroma isn't even the issue. How can we communicate further? Do you have an email I could send you details to?

If you wanna do VR games in your house, this is a very useful first step, to map your house. The game engine can then draw things exactly where they need to be based on your environment.
