- Our reconstruction engine can estimate both the internal and external camera parameters automatically. Most of the reconstruction pipelines rely only on manual calibration or exif information and fail when this information is not present. We don’t. When the information is not present, we compute everything automatically from the images.Automatic Structure from Motion :
- Enjoy our state of the art reconstruction engine and keep control over the reconstruction process: both the classic incremental pipeline and the new, fastest global pipeline are available and selectable.Global & Incremental pipeline:
