RealityScan - unique in every regard
The photogrammetry software RealityScan is extremely fast, has a highly modern and innovative core and a number of unique features – a power package that is changing the industry!
Go beyond the 3D limits of what can be achieved with photogrammetric methods with amazing speed, quality and accuracy at low computer hardware usage. Registering images, calculating meshes, texturing, parallel projections, DSM, geo-referencing and coordinate system conversion are just a fraction of what you get with RC.
Laser & photos
Laser scanning meets state-of-the-art photogrammetry – all in one package. Laser scanners are natively supported within the application and are also fully involved during the position estimation of a camera or laser scanner. This results in truly unbeatable accuracy.
- Reconstruction of missing parts with the help of photos
- Automatic filtering of moving objects
- Automatic processing of registered/unregistered laser scans and/or photos
- Improving and simplifying the registration of laser scans using photos and/or checkpoints
Analysieren & Fortsetzen
Super-fast design mode that aligns 500×12 megapixel images in less than 10 minutes on a notebook, right on the spot. Combine all types of data – images, laser scans, aerial photos…
Analyze directly on site and get what you need efficiently.
- Take photos and add them to a project
- Click on draft alignment
- Review the result
- Repeat steps 1-3 until the desired result is achieved.
Create 3D models from photos, combine them with drone images and laser scan data for a fast and high-quality result! Create virtual reality scenes, textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections, geo-referenced maps and much more from images and/or laser scans completely automatically with the photogrammetry software RealityScan.
Function - Highlights
RealityScan 2.0 brings significant updates: from AI-assisted masking mode, alignment improvements and visual quality investigation to support for airborne laser scanning.
In previous versions processes have been continuously optimized for faster calculations — more specifically for depth maps. The new UserInterface UI enhances the functionality by switching to ribbon based navigation corresponding to the context of your active window — 2D, 3D, Help, etc. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough of the calculation process, while being able to refine and troubleshoot within each step. Also, some new troubleshooting tools are detecting misaligned cameras, visually seeing camera position uncertainties and controlling LODs (level of details).
Work effectively and isolate and calculate volumes and areas, view contours and create elevation profiles, calculate and export contour lines and cross sections, enable slope shading in terrain etc.
Key highlights of version 2.0:
- AI masking to automatically remove backgrounds
- More intelligent image alignment
- Combine LiDAR data and aerial images with ground data
- Quality analysis using visual heat maps
Distinctive Features:
- Faster model reconstruction and texturing
- Improved one-click model generation
- Mosaicing-based texturing and UV unwrap (Experimental)
- Direct upload to Nira
- Axis and transformation adjustment on import model dialog
- Updated resource cache behavior
- Support for PLY model import
- HEIC decoder metadata added
- Added render mesh from custom position – CLI commands + reporting system functions
- Added large triangle unwrap option to the level of detail export
- Revision of Inspection tool
And much more!
AI masking
RealityScan interprets your object and separates it cleanly from the rest of the scenery to optimize your workflows from the captured photos to the final reconstruction data.
Smarter alignment
New default settings improve image alignment. Greater model consistency and fewer manual touch-ups.
LiDAR data support
Combine LiDAR data and aerial imagery with ground data to create accurate orthographic projections, maps and 3D models.
Quality analysis
Visual heatmaps allow you to identify areas that need more data before proceeding to the meshing step.
Ortho Projection using Image mosaicking
Option to create an ortho projection rendered from images rather than textured/colorized mesh.
Orthomosaic Editing
Allows to select a region and specify which cameras should be used for the orthomosaic generation – to fix possible visual issues, remove cameras that captured a moving car/person you don’t want in the orthomosaic.
Profile Measurements
Definition and elevation profile display of a drawn polyline/shape, identity of high and low points within the selected area.
Volume Measurements
Select a region, specify the base plane type and measure cut and fill volumes – useful for topographical surveys, identifying how much groundwork needed to level an area, as well as stockpile measurements.
Contours
Ability to display contours(isolines) to visualize the height profile of the displayed orthographic projection – users are able to set the min and max altitude and contour intervals. Giving a visual representation of how the land is falling and where the high and low points are – useful for topographical surveys and engineering workflows.
Cross Sections
Cross sections are mainly used within GIS workflows – they basically provide you with multiple profiles of an area along a specified plane – these can then be exported as shapefile/dxf format.
Cut by Box
Allows to remove triangles inside/outside box or slice.
Misalignment Detection Tool
A new option within the Inspect tool that can visually highlight camera misalignments.
Optimized LOD and add LOD Texture Format
New border decimation setting in Simplify Tool Option to keep border intact on simplification (keep original number of vertices along the borders, or make new simplified border) Ribbon 2.0 Other than that RC 1.2. version comes with major UI Improvements, as well. One Export, UX Improvements, better tool grouping
Faster depth maps calculation Ribbon 2.0 Additional Selection Tools
Polygon, Polyline, Adjustable Brush
Boundless
Unlimited number of photos, unlimited scene sizes, unlimited detail. Algorithms automatically divide the problem into smaller parts that best fit your hardware.
- Multi core, multi GPU
- Each part is prepaired in parallel
- The result behaves like a single model, without artifacts.
RealityScan brings great freedom to your work. Just concentrate on your goals and let the software do the rest. You don't have to limit yourself to a small number of photos because RealityScan is amazingly fast. With the appropriate computer equipment, the calculation of several thousand images is possible.
