Other useful software that might help with the model processing in the whole pipeline.

Capturing Reality​

  • A professional software to create models from photos, laser scans, drone photos, etc.
  • Offers PPI licensing which allows to create the model and pay only for the result.
  • Only works with Windows and require NVIDIA card with CUDA 3.0+
  • Current issues:
    • To import .ply file, it has to contain specific property which we cannot guarantee from Meshlab export.
    • The .e57 format has some error while importing.
    • It seems only .ptx format will work as import.
    • I would recommend to watch first YouTube series about the process. It seems it takes a lot of effort to do it. It cannot import final mesh, the whole process must be done inside.
    • It would require a powerful PC to do it right.
    • Im not sure about the final size, but it should be compressable.

Leica Cyclone 3DR​

  • Provides quite a bad quality mesh with a lot of imperfections. Meshlab does much better mesh.
  • Texture is bad as well.
  • Procesing is fast but not good quality.
  • It can do a nice texture from photos, but I did not have a time to look at it more deeply.
