There are several ways to generate point clouds from imagery, and the specific method used will depend on the type of imagery and the desired point cloud characteristics. Here are a few common ways we generate point clouds:
- Structure from Motion (SfM): This method involves taking a series of images from different viewpoints and using them to reconstruct a 3D model of the scene. The model can then be transformed into a point cloud by sampling points at regular intervals.
- Photogrammetry: This method involves using the geometry of the scene, as well as the position and orientation of the camera, to calculate the 3D coordinates of points in the scene. These coordinates can be used to generate a point cloud.
- Multi-view stereo: This method involves taking multiple images of the same scene from different viewpoints and using them to generate a dense point cloud. The point cloud can be used to reconstruct a 3D model of the scene.
