| Excited! Skydio 3D scan would be my 1st go-to solution, if drone flight was not so heavily restricted in urban areas. I would like to see indoor 3D scan examples, if available. |

Source: From the Skydio YouTube Channel --- @MeshImages This video (above) includes indoor commercial space.  This is AMAZING. Granted. This is a LARGE indoor space: not a residence. Plus, they are using Skydio 3D Scan to scan a BIG OBJECT rather than the space itself. BUT, I could imagine that it works the same way for scanning smaller indoor spaces (like a house or condo for sale, lease or rent).

| Amazing! Now we need a player, that integrates these 3d exterior models into our presentations. So sad, that GeoCV is not an option anymore. I hope, that 3DVista will be coming up with something like depthmaps or a handy obj/pointcloud player module. |

| Is anyone using sketchfab for hosting? Would love to add the skydio workflow to create something like this and hosting seems reasonable, but not sure what all entailed with creating this type of model: https://skfb.ly/6ZSwv | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by remaxvictory I would wait till somebody shows an example and describe an experience of creating a 3D model for a property. It is one thing to capture a back of a rocket in a huge warehouse and it is totally another thing to fly automatically in a property with furniture, hung from celling objects, beams and complex designs. A drone for sure is the best to climb steps but do not expect it to be easy. When I look at my house it is too much work to deploy something like skydio even one a ground floor due to its design. Plus I have been playing with photogrammetry for more than a year and it does not seem anybody has created a workable solution for images captured for photogrammetry inside. Plus even with my 50mp Canon I cannot get a high quality result that any client will accept. It seems to be only good & sometimes even perfect for objects you can go around. In interior capturing cases it is like looking on Matterport render of any 3D tour. No clear material representation, all blurred & smudged because of it. If Matterport had not had a camera for 360 views nobody would have even cared to look at them as property walk throughs. However I believe we have seen at least one interior example and it has been shown here on WGAN. The result is quite good. I do not remember details but it has been on some big well know USA newspaper website(NY Times may be) about some book writer room. May be Dan remembers it and can find it. |

| BTW, try 3DF ZEPHYR. It is is the photogrammetry software and they allow you to do 50 photos projects for free. They even claim it can work with 360 photos and 360 videos. You just need to run them trough their built in tool for 360 before processing them into a 3D Model. It fails for me for an interior though either it is 360 video/photo or flat and that why I am saying there seem to be no solution so far. At east with flat photos and videos you will gee interior created as a 3D model but 360 video/photos for some reasons creates a model of a spot where it has been captured. There are totally free Meshroom that has no limits but it seems to be less capable than 3DF ZEPHYR I think if you want a really great quality and resolution 3D model of a property even with 50MP camera you need to capture about 40-50cm from walls and objects and if it is less resolution sensor I am not sure you can make anything pleasing in terms of visual. So imagine how much work involved doing just walls from 50cm with about 70% overlap with a 50mp sensor. I will try to do a test today and see if I can publish it online so people can see problems with photogrammetry for interiors. |

| Just tried but this time I have captured really close in my laundry but hit a limit of 50 photos only capturing the corner at the top. To capture it at full resolution it would be close to 1000 photos. Processing was really slow for 50mp jpegs and took about 1 hour. This time I selected high res texture and in fact I got a model where I can almost read 5mm text on a box. I have just tried to upload it to sketchfab on a free account and I could not. The limit for free account is 50mp and my cloud point file(mtl format) is almost 1 GB. Since I cannot upload it anywhere for free here is a screenshot  . I have a fast machine with 32GB of ram and old but good GPU. At some points I could not use my desktop because computing was taking a lot of memory and processing power If skydio system can create this resolution and compute such a complicated task on a drone processor or on its controller that is really impressive. Just remember it is only 45 images at 50 mp showing well much less than 1% of all surfaces that would be require to capture my property. If at rough estimation it is less than 0.5m3 it is 1/800 of all space. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DanSmigrod No, it is this one. I have found it by searching "nytimes" on the forum. https://rd.nytimes.com/projects/reconstructing-journalistic-scenes-in-3d The quality we will probably need for what we do is there but it is very slow on a pc with just 8GB of memory and an old GPU. I bet it is quite big in size and this is just one room. So for a whole property it can be very huge. |

| I emailed Skydio 4 times asking for an example of an interior scan or a 24 hour trial and finally got this response: We still do not have a trial period for 3D Scan however I'm happy to connect you with a rep. who can walk you through the purchasing process! Check out our Sketchfab page here! The examples aren't houses per say but do give you an idea of 3D Scan's ability. Let me know your thoughts and I'd be happy to help! |

| Hehe, if one buys into Moore's law of computing, imo we can be assured that in the not too distant future, interior autonomous capture compatible with MP cloud will become a reality, whether we like it our not. And again, an industry game changer which will require rethinking of sales models, even for MP. Once the outcome of such a capture provides reliable quality every single time, we have reached mainstream. 2 years max I feel. |
