GeoCapture

GeoCapture turns photos or video into a 3D model and point cloud, without photogrammetry software or reconstruction experience.

Workflow

  1. Create a capture project and give it the site name and coordinate system.
  2. Upload a photo set or a video.
  3. Select the frames that should take part in reconstruction; remove blurred or duplicated frames.
  4. Start the reconstruction job and wait for it to finish.
  5. Review the 3D model and point cloud; check scale, orientation and obvious holes.
  6. Publish the result as a service and open it in a scene.

Input guidance

  • Overlap consecutive photos by roughly 60–80%.
  • Keep the camera settings consistent within one capture.
  • Avoid moving objects, strong reflections and uniform surfaces.
  • For a large site, split the capture into smaller areas instead of one very large job.

Outputs

  • 3D model for scene display and measurement.
  • Point cloud for checking geometry and measuring change.
  • A published service that can be used by scenes, dashboards and map applications.

Requirements

  • A current Chrome or Edge browser.
  • Enough storage for the uploaded media and the reconstruction output.
  • A project whose coordinate system matches the survey control.
