Engineering-grade 3D modelling with ContextCapture

Last week we kicked-off our ContextCapture Tech Talks, a series of live events aiming to showcase different features and workflows requested by our audience.

In the first episode, we talked about ContextCapture 3D modelling capabilities which is one of the key elements of photogrammetry workflows. Here 5 reasons why you should be upgrading your photogrammetry workflow to ContextCapture:

ContextCapture is all about choice.

1. Hardware agnostic

Don't be limited by your hardware. You can generate an engineering-grade 3D model out of drone data, mobile phone, hand-held cameras, mobile mapping, laser scan (static or mobile), etc. Indoors and outdoors too!

2. Hybrid models (LiDAR + imagery)

You can easily combine point clouds with imagery to generate what we call a hybrid model. Extremely useful to incorporate pre-existing data of your client. If they have a point cloud and you are going to do a drone survey, why not combining the geometry of the scan with the texture of the imagery to get the best of both in one output.

3. Workflow flexibility

ContextCapture gives you full control of all processing parameters and settings, while also providing plenty of presets. Whether you are a looking to get down to all the nitty gritty details, or just the one-click solution, ContextCapture got you covered.

4. No need for fancy laptop

You can use an off-the-shelf laptop for your photogrammetry processing thanks to ContextCapture's smart tiling functionality, which optimizes your RAM usage. This means, you can work with other applications while doing your photogrammetry processing.

5. Continuously update your 3D assets

You can work with individual tiles of your existing 3D model to update specific parts or areas without having to re-process the entire project.

There is a few more like interoperability and output formats which we covered during the live event, you can re-watch here:
