RealityCapture
open-in-new
<p>RealityCapture (RC) is a <a href="/facts/Photogrammetry/KoXsRImj">photogrammetry</a> software for creating <a href="/facts/3D_model/6V3Ry9AJ">3D models</a> out of unordered photographs (terrestrial and/or aerial) or <a href="/facts/Laser_scanning/oenvLNMQ">laser scans</a> without seams. The most common fields of its current use are <a href="/facts/Cultural_heritage/rGqpLGgk">cultural heritage</a> (art, archaeology, and architecture), <a href="/facts/3D_body_scanning/LMwMkzEo">full body scanning</a>, <a href="/facts/Video_game/vmTdNASJ">gaming</a>, <a href="/facts/Surveying/qchGcnRC">surveying</a>, <a href="/facts/Cartography/8YdDAAeX">mapping</a>, <a href="/facts/Visual_effects/AdoEkAWU">visual effects</a> (VFX) and <a href="/facts/Virtual_reality/0psDGsxT">virtual reality</a> (VR) in general. </p><p>It features include <a href="/facts/Image_registration/y2KUwdRL">image registration</a> (alignment), automatic calibration, calculating a <a href="/facts/Polygon_mesh/6WLD80ER">polygon mesh</a>, colouring, texturing, <a href="/facts/Parallel_projection/QhSERFh6">parallel projections</a>, <a href="/facts/Georeferencing/alDpdfgq">georeferencing</a>, <a href="/facts/Design_structure_matrix/slRfDjda">DSM</a>, <a href="/facts/Coordinate_system/Mtd0q4SP">coordinate system</a> conversion, <a href="/facts/Computer_algebra/hjun1KAX">simplification</a>, <a href="/facts/Image_scaling/qNoeujzm">scaling</a>, <a href="/facts/Filtration/x4no9XQy">filtration</a>, <a href="/facts/Smoothing/2svFjsbI">smoothing</a>, measurement, <a href="/facts/Inspection/VIHSpFXp">inspection</a>, and various exports and imports. The program can be run under the command line. There is also a software developer kit available. RealityCapture is able to mix camera images and laser scans. It is designed to make low demands on hardware. It works linearly, which means if its inputs are doubled, the processing time will be doubled as well. The software is currently available only in <a href="/facts/English_language/tpkxGt7b">English language</a>. </p>
