3D Reconstruction [Aerial]

• The workspace of the 3D recontruction page is organized as follow:

  

1. Top bar: the main menus of the X-Photo Processing manager.

2. Sub-Menu Bar: where you can access the related settings of the current main menu.

3. Outputs bar: where the elaborations' outputs are listed. Here below are the different functions we have from this panel:

   • 3D reconstruction : allows to execute multiple 3D reconstruction calculations in a single operation.

   • Dense cloud : generates the dense point cloud.

   • DSM : generates the Digital Surface Model.

   • Orthophoto: generates the Orthophoto.

   • 3D Mesh: generates the 3D mesh with textures.

   • Photos overlay map : allows to check the overlap of the photos used for the camera orientation.

   • Delete 3D data : deletes selected result.

   • All visible : makes visible all the elaborations' results.

   • All invisible : hides all the elaborations' results.

4. Properties: to view and modify some properties of the selected elaboration result.

5. CAD view: is a graphic view where to check the generated dense point cloud, with some editing commands:

   • Show GCPs : shows on the graphic view, all the GCPs used.

   • Points size : changes the point size of the point cloud, from one of these sizes: Small, Normal, Large and Extra large.

   • Select polygon : to select points by defining a closed polygon in the screen.

   • Invert selection : to invert the current selection.

   • Cancel selection : to cancel all the points selected.

   • Delete selection : to delete selected points from the Point Cloud.

   • Undo : to restore previous visibility status of Point Cloud.

   • Redo : to cancel the effect of the previous Undo command.

   • Delta elevation : to modify the elevation of selected points with a delta elevation.

   • Fixed elevation : to modify the elevation of selected points with a fixed elevation.

   • Correct orthophoto : to correct the selected zone of the orthophoto by applying one single photo.

   • Coordinates bar : displays the cartographic coordinates of the cursor.

3D reconstruction

After the calibration, we can run the Dense Cloud process and create the corresponding Points Cloud.

• To start the 3D Reconstruction process, click on

• From the 3D elaboration settings, you can modify the settings of each single elaboration (dense point cloud, DSM, orthophoto, etc)

  

At the end of the elaborations, X-PAD Office Fusion can automatically save the project and turn off the PC
