Dense point cloud of 1,100,000,000 points (1.1 billion), decimated down to 5,000,000 points (5 million) for upload here. Generated in 3DF Zephyr from ~35,000 photographs. Model was produced in 18 discrete blocks which were then merged in 3DF using manually defined Control Points. Total production time for the 1B point cloud included: ~40 hours for photo capture ~110 hours for Sparse ~330 hours for Dense Computer specification: i5-4590, GTX 970, 32GB RAM (+224GB virtual memory = 256GB ‘RAM’). All files on SSDs. Derived textured meshes (photogrammetry) will be used to render schematics for the area (town plan, architectural elevations), which will inform production of a high accuracy manual (i.e. CAD) model, ultimately for deployment in Virtual Reality or other real time applications.
