Recently we held an intro webinar that introduces how 3DF Zephyr workflow is used to create highly representative 3D models and 2D ortho mosaics of the cultural heritage around us. You can watch this below.
Naturally, there are a few questions that customers may ask. We thought it would be helpful to collate these on one page for ease.
FAQ’s Intro to 3D Zephyr Webinar
Presently just Windows is supported
Bootcamp will work but may not exploit hardware such as graphics cards
Undoubtedly, all photogrammetry software is demanding. So far, no hard metrics or comparative testing has been done. Anecdotally, some steps are slower, some faster. End result is about the same!
The errors can indicate two issues; user error when placing points or weak camera bundle (not mesh) alignment.
In our intro webinar we address how no limit in Zephyr. 500 camera limit in Zephyr Lite…we are lobbying hard to remove that. Please use the contact us page and let us know your thoughts
No, the Lite version does not allow scaling. However, you can save and load the project in full Zephyr, and vice versa.
We are always hesitant to recommend video as a source for photogrammetry.
Yes, you can estimate image quality.
Yes, and in multiple formats. Furthermore, a separate application, included with Zephyr, focuses on point cloud alignment.
Typically, you do not need recursive optimization steps.
A drone with a high res camera with mechanical shutter and RTK positional correction would be a good start.
The products are in our shop and yes there is academic/educational pricing too.
Local processing – not a problem. Web link optional.
Yes, you can move the license by deregistering one PC and registering it on another.
3DF are based in Verona, Italy.
AccuPixel’s shop is now open for 3DFlow.
