New results of the project CAPTURE will be presented next week at the Cebit. The workflow of the 3D scanning is fast and simple: extremely high-definition spherical images are taken at different point in space, totally freely without any restriction; every detail is accurately documented and inherently present in the images. Indeed, post-processing allows accurately reconstructing the 3D geometry of the scene as a very dense and accurate colored point cloud. Measurements, simulations, scene inspection or emergency planning can be done within a novel 3D viewer, mixing high-resolution panorama views and 3D model.
