There are not good workflows for doing this for a whole scene, especially where accuracy needs to be preserved. One shot models seem to be very good at providing 3D from a single angle, but multishot is very shoddy at this point, and withou

This is a big loss for skydio, as the contract was in excess of $100MM value, and comes right as they raise another large round of funding.

I forgot to mention you could also perform terrestrial laser scanning or SLAM underneath the bridge and fuse those together with the aerial photogrammetry to get a unified model, but this is even more effort and more post process. I have to

This is what happens to photogrammetry reconstruction around water and other areas where there are not enough camera angles seeing underneath the bridge to determine the 3-D geometry. This is usually rectified post processed by Google or so

I will believe this when I can actually measure scenes from Gaussians accurately (I have tried multiple papers worth of experiments with dismal results). No one in the reality capture industry uses splats for anything else other than visual

I love the “3D Gaussian Visualisation” section that illustrates the difference between photos of the mono data and the splat data. The splats are like a giant point cloud under the hood, except unlike point clouds which have uniform size, d

Those LiDAR sensors on phones and VR headsets are low resolution and mainly used to improve the photos and depth information from the camera. Different objective than mapping a space, which is mainly being disrupted by improvements from the

You are correct; most of these new techniques are using a camera. In my line of work I consider a camera sensor a scanner of sorts, as we do a lot of photogrammetry and “scan” with a 45MP full frame. The inferred 3D from cameras is pretty b

I work in the rendering and gaming industry and also run a 3D scanning company. I have similarly wished for this capability, especially the destructability part. What you speak of is still pretty far off for several reasons: -No Collision&#

Wider implications beyond just the consumer drone market. My company and several of our clients (who are all much larger companies than us) have $100,000s - $X,000,000s of DJI enterprise drones, batteries, and payloads (Matrice 300, 350, ze

I wonder what camera sensor was used to produce this. A DSLR on a pano/360 rig? Or something purpose built like a Weiss AG Civetta 230MP 360 scanning camera.

I notice a DJI Matrice 300 (larger drone) and a DJI Mavic 2 (can’t be totally sure if it’s a pro model). DJI is well known as the top market leader in UAV space because of its relative low cost ($13K for the Matrice, under $3K for the Mavic

The data in their nicely colored graph is wildly inaccurate. I have a long range Tesla model 3 (in Alaska) and the range is over 290 miles (it says 310 miles when full, but doesn’t quite get that, even in the summer). This is information yo

I recently played Bone Labs on the Occulus Quest 2, and it totally redefines where I thought we were with VR (and with no PC to have to play it). Seriously, just check it out if you haven’t and you have a headset. I am a huge VR skeptic for

It is not that viable. Even large drones cannot carry more than a few kilos for 40 minutes (on one set of batteries). It just doesn’t have good ROI, and is mainly a PR move by Amazon and some VC funded startups. I accept there are some prac

I’ve dreamed of a device similar to this since I was child. It would be thrilling to isolate different stems from classical or really synthy music. The device looks like it’s a brookstone product from the 2000s though…

Just about every key lock in the world today has the same fundamental flaw. They are designed by a human being, and they test if that design can be exploited by calling it unpick-able. This flaw opens up infinite kinds of vulnerabilities.
