Yep that should be possible - as long as you flow below 5 metres though!
If you have a drone and are somewhere that is legal & safe to fly, photogrammetry (3d model from just visual photos) will likely give a better result than relying on the iPhone LiDAR stitching.
Set the drone image self timer to 2 seconds, fly around for a bit and then upload all the photos into WebODM: https://opendronemap.org/webodm/ https://opendronemap.org/webodm/
You can run it on your local machine (see instructions in blog post) or hosted for a fee. It creates brilliant models and is a lot of fun!
- causality0 4y agoI've never gotten photogrammetry from a drone to work properly. Frankly the headache is just not work it in my opinion, especially since it usually entails flying low enough to annoy your neighbors.
- Foxhuls 4y agoI’ve personally gotten some pretty great (in my opinion) 3D models with just a DJI mini 2 and realitycapture
- jakecopp 4y agoThat's not my experience at all - even just driving the drone in a straight line with a 2 second (repating) self timer on I get great models processing in WebODM with the default settings. > it usually entails flying low enough to annoy your neighbors In my experience the higher the better - you can get a really nice model from 120m (legal limit in Australia).
