Capturing Reality | Drone Mapping Guide | Part 1 @CapturingReality | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This is the first part of the tutorial series covering drone mapping in RealityCapture. In this one, we’ll go over importing the images, aligning them, and optimizing the alignment with the ground control points. We’ll take a look at how to deal with the so-called bowl effect, how to deal with inaccurate geolocation of the drone images, and what to do when ground control points and images have different vertical systems.
