Photogrammetry, NeRF, and Gaussian Splatting: A Brief Overview

Photogrammetry: Capturing Reality with Precision

Photogrammetry, a technique harnessing images to create 3D models, has evolved with the integration of machine learning algorithms. This method finds applications in archaeology, architecture, and virtual reality. Advanced software tools like Agisoft Metashape, RealityCapture, and Pix4D have become integral for creating detailed reconstructions.

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF): AI Illumination for Realism

NeRF represents a groundbreaking approach to 3D reconstruction, using neural networks to infer complex scenes directly from 2D images. Applications span gaming, film production, and simulation training. Open-source implementations like NeRF-W and tools such as Nebula Cloud NeRF provide accessible entry points for researchers.

Gaussian Splatting: Balancing Accuracy and Efficiency

Gaussian Splatting strikes a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency, making it ideal for large-scale point cloud data. This method is crucial in lidar-based mapping, autonomous vehicles, and environmental monitoring. Open-source libraries like Open3D and PyTorch3D offer efficient implementations for Gaussian Splatting.
