Even after a couple of smoothing passes, the model didn’t get much better:įor the record, this is what system usage looked like during high reconstruction:Ī big selling point of Reality Capture is that it’s easy on resources. Meanwhile, the mesh was considerbly larger in vertex/poly number and consequently file size (High was 1.66 GB, but default was 480mb). It suffered from an awful lot of noise, and horn lost a bit of fidelity. But the mesh wasn’t actually better than default: High was a different kettle of fish… Total time taken (not including texturing) was 24 minutes. Texturing (4096×4096) took 78 seconds, but turned it into something highly useful for visualization purposes: High Settings: That’s right, a fully coloured mesh in just 15 seconds! It didn’t look great, mind:īut then what do you expect for 15 seconds worth of processing? Colourising verts looked similarly ‘draft-like’: I also tried Reality Capture’s reconstruction on low and high settings: Low Settings:įor Low, I ran a draft alignment (14.5 seconds), then a ‘preview’ quality reconstruction (0.944 seconds).
That being said, some of those options have improved since I last tested them, so I will review this comparison again in the not too distant future. Reality Capture really is about 10x quicker. To put that in perspective, last time I tested COLMAP with this dataset, it took 50 minutes! COLMAP + OpenMVS took 37 minutes, and Meshroom took 45 minutes. All 53 cameras were matched, and there’s not a lot of noise around the horn (which is usually problematic), and the (shiny) brass plaque was good too:Īs mentioned at the start, the whole process took about 6 and a bit minutes. So, the reconstruction looks great, very complete. The textured model looks as good as the coloured mesh, to be honest, hence why I didn’t include texturing in the headline time-taken. That took 205 seconds, or a little over 3 minutes, for a 4096px texture. Texturing is accomplished via a button on the top bar under ‘reconstruction’. This mesh isn’t textured, it’s just using coloured verticies. Then I click the start button and leave the reconstruction to it, hoping I head to the folder button in the top left, select myįolder of images of the styracosaurus model, they load (almost instantly), and * on default, on my test machine Default Settings Time to reconstruct Styracosaurus dataset*: 397.262 Support, max 2,500 images per project] via their website, or you can pay £29.99 Lowest Cost: $99 (~£77) for 3 months [caveats: no Low-end version, or it’s very expensive for a perpetual license.

Ok, let’s get this out of the way – Reality Capture is fast.
