Thanks for visiting! I'll put together a blog post, but it was similar to the process in my previous work here: https://blog.mused.org/digitizing-luxor-temple-a-virtual-fie...

Similar except I captured with Matterport Capture and then downloaded and aligned data captured with BLK after in Cyclone so that we'd have both sets.

I had spent few weekends in my attempt to automate the process of generating 3D model from pictures. The underlying issue and concern folks have with matterport is their lock in. You are free to upload images to it but not allowed to self host or use their resource to generate the 3D dollhouse.

The regular way requires to feed the photo into multiple layer of software. Example, generate a point cloud, create a mesh from it, clean up the mesh and port it a Fanwood to be consumed (unity. Unreal, etc) this is all manual.

I am genuinely curious how the folks at matterport are able to do it with next to no human input after feeding it 2d pictures.
