Open Source Photogrammetry: Ditching 123D Catch – We Did Stuff. This is part one in a series on open source photogrammetry.
In part two, I’ll flesh out more VFX-centric application of this workflow. Before I start, big thanks to: Dan Short: for showing me his awesome 123d models that sparked this whole ideaHannah Davis: debugging + emotional support + snacks So a few weeks ago, Dan Short showed me 123D Catch. ARC 3D Webservice. CMP SfM Web Service. News 31/05/11 - New web interface (version Prague). 17/03/11 - You can now use icon in 'Datasets table' to run SfM (No XML file needed).
What? CMP SfM Web Service provides a remote access to the 3D reconstruction systems developed in Center for Machine Perception, FEE, CTU Prague. Hypr3D. Autodesk 123D. PhotoCloud - Home. PhotoCloud is a browser for datasets composed of: A collection of calibrated images A 3D model over which images are aligned (point-cloud, triangle mesh, ...)
In order to view them in PhotoCloud, they must undergo a specific pre-processing phase, which is performed through the PhotoCloud Index Generator tool. These pages provides instructions for downloading and installing PhotoCloud, PhotoCloudIndexGenerator, and a guide for their use. In addition, we provide two sample datasets, so that you can test PhotoCloud without generating a dataset of your own: the first one is an example of an architectural complex, featuring the Cavalieri Square in Pisa (Italy); the second one features the Michelangel`s David statue with pictures shot before and after the recent restoration (2004-2005).
