USE CASE: High-end Photogrammetry

World-class photogrammetry professional Paul Safko has specialized in scanning important cultural heritage sites at sub-millimeter detail.

We worked with Paul on an exclusive project: To create a digital twin of an entire salon room in a palace in the Czech Republic, filled with paintings and baroque furniture - all at 0.125mm resolution in a single Montage!

Problem

Photogrammetry output can't be shared without discarding data

Undecimated photogrammetry data is hugely detailed and heavy, which runs up against hard limits imposed by conventional 3D technologies: They typically can't handle more than tens of millions of triangles - while Paul Safko's raw cultural heritage output often contain a hundred times as much geometry! The necessary reduction in size and detail to even view the results defeats much of the hard work and purpose of capturing these sites.

Solution

Entire captured sites can now be conveyed without compromise

With the Atomontage platform's breakthrough approach to progressive streaming and efficient client-size rendering on common devices, hard limits are no longer imposed on the geometric size and detail of these culturally important reality captures.
Whole sites along with every scanned detail can be preserved and easily shared through a URL without losing any of the sub-millimeter geometry or color accuracy of the data.

Step 1 - Capture

Professional photogrammetry capture

High-end photogrammetry is a painstaking process of taking thousands of overlapping DSLR and drone photos.

STEP 2 - PHOTOGRAMMETRY

The photogrammetry software processing

Using existing software solutions, the many photos are then turned into a 3D reconstruction of the scene or object.

STEP 3 - UPLOADING

Uploading ALL the data to Atomontage

The undecimated output exported from photogrammetry workflows are uploaded to our backend, and processed.

STEP 4 - MONTAGE MAKING

Assemble many datasets into a single Montage; edit them with intuitive tools

Heavy scans can be interactively arranged and improved with intuitive tools to remove artefacts and repair holes.

STEP 5 - SHARING

Sharing the finished Montage with a URL; sending viewers to a specific vantage point

The whole Montage can easily be shared with anyone else in the world, sending them to a chosen place inside to meet.

STEP 6 - VIEWING

Recipients of the Montage URL can view ALL captured details on almost any device

Seconds after clicking the link, viewers can interactively experience it all - in their browser, phone, or mobile VR.

Testimonial

"Presenting ultra-large, highly detailed cultural heritage 3D scans that are as true to the real object as possible, has always been a technical challenge - until now. Clients can finally easily move around a rich 3D scene without the need to first heavily downscale the scan. All that compromise is simply not necessary anymore."
