Skydio 2 can now capture detailed 3D models through photogrammetry, and it can do it all automatically. Here are samples you can view on your desktop or in VR.
Until now, creating a detailed 3D model of an area required either multiple scans with LIDAR cameras such as the Leica BLK2Go ($65,000) or BLK360 ($15,990), or required hundreds of photos which would then be combined by photogrammetry software. Now, the tedious task of shooting hundreds of photos for photogrammetry can be shot automatically by Skydio 2.
Skydio 2 is a drone that is capable of flying autonomously through computer vision. Now it has a new feature called 3D Scan which enables it to capture detailed 3D models through photogrammetry. The catch is that a 3D Scan license costs $2,999 per year.
This semiconductor facility was shot by Skydio 2 in just 30 minutes:
Here is a 3D sample shot with Skydio 2. You can view it in 6DOF with a VR headset.
Absolutamente asombroso. La cagó! Lastima no tener ni las especificaciones del PC necesario, del procedimiento para obtener esos renders increibles o el dinero ni para dicho dron ni la licencia.
Pero de todas formas la cagó … increibles tomas !!!!
Skydio did not provide the information about the 3D Scan requirements. They only mentioned the cost of the license.
Anyone considering a Skydio 2 should first take a look at the many user reviews on YT. Lots of people are having problems with its tracking ability.
As for that 3D software, it’s clearly meant mainly for industrial use. If it works as shown, it certainly is a game-changer.
