Aerial Reconstruction

Aerial Reconstruction supports 3DGS reconstruction of ultra-large models using only aerial images captured by a drone, without ground data captured by devices.

Workflow

Upload Aerial Data

• Aerial Data: Upload drone aerial-capture data. The interface will display the corresponding device type.

Drone RTK Data Toggle

v2.2.0 adds a drone RTK data toggle that controls whether RTK data recorded by the drone is used during aerial reconstruction.

• On (default): The system uses the drone's RTK data in reconstruction, generating a model with absolute coordinates.
• Off: The system completely ignores the drone's RTK data and reconstructs using visual data only; the model does not contain absolute coordinate information.

Enter the Model Name and Set Model Parameters

Aerial Data: Select the folder that contains drone-captured images. When selecting a folder, note the following:

• The folder must contain more than 100 and fewer than 10,000 images.
• Only JPG and JPEG image formats are supported.
• Image resolution must be higher than 1024×768, and every image must have the same resolution.

Note: The number of drone photos must not exceed 10,000.
