Final Project — Build a House from Photos

Module Overview

This is the final project. You'll apply the entire pipeline you've built over the previous modules to a single, deliberately generic scenario: reconstruct a house from satellite imagery and multiple photos. The house is not the point — the pipeline is. Because the scenario is generic, the same steps you follow here translate directly to any real case.

The Asset Pack

All the source materials for the project are in a prepackaged asset set — a base .blend file plus the reference imagery from the video series.

[TODO: a short list of what's inside the pack — base .blend, reference photos, satellite imagery, and any known scale references — and what students should do first when they open it.]

The Pipeline

Work through the same sequence the course taught, but now end to end, on your own:

1. Baseline (Module 02) — confirm the georeferenced 1:1 scene; origin at the site, 1 unit = 1 m.
2. Camera match (Module 03) — match the camera to your primary reference photo using the fSpy process.
3. Model (Module 04) — model the house and its immediate surroundings against the matched camera.
4. Verify (Module 04) — photomatch: render from the matched camera and compare against the source photo.
5. Document (Module 06) — record scale limits, distortion handling, uncertainty, and full methodology.

[TODO: any project-specific guidance — which photo to match first, the expected known scale reference (e.g. a door frame), and what "done" looks like for this final project.]

Deliverables

[TODO: the concrete outputs a student should be able to produce — a scaled 3D scene, a matched camera, a photomatch comparison image, and a one-page methodology note. This is the checklist an instructor (or the student) can check against.]

Knowledge Check

[TODO: 2–3 reflective questions — e.g. where in the pipeline did you lose the most precision; what would you change if the only photo you had was a wide-angle street shot; how would you extend this to a second angle.]

Summary

[TODO: one paragraph tying the final project back to the two anchors and the generalizable pipeline.]
