This lesson is a stub. Content to be developed.
Planned Content​
Evidentiary Considerations​
- Admissibility of 3DGS visualizations in court
- GS as visual aid vs. forensic measurement
- Chain of custody for splat data
Documentation Requirements​
- Following the Berkeley Protocol
- What to document in your methodology section
- What to record in your decision log
- Version tracking for tools and models
When to Use GS vs. Alternatives​
| Scenario | Best Approach |
|---|---|
| Need photorealistic context | GS |
| Need precise measurements | Mesh photogrammetry |
| Need both | GS + mesh combined |
| Single image | Camera matching |
| Video with motion | Camera tracking |
Limitations to Document​
- Hallucination risk in unseen areas
- Scale drift without reference
- Reflection/transparency artifacts
- Computational requirements
Exercise​
(To be written — critique a sample methodology statement.)
