Description​

With both anchors in place — a georeferenced 1:1 world and a matched camera — this module builds the site. You model geometry against the matched camera, use the scale pillar to keep dimensions defensible, and verify the result by photomatching against the source frame. The composed references give you the full reconstruction playbook and the scene-management workflow for keeping a complex scene organized.

What You'll Be Able to Do​

By the end of this module you will be able to:

  1. Model a structure against the matched camera
  2. Use the scale pillar to keep dimensions defensible
  3. Verify a model by photomatching it against the source frame
  4. Apply the geometric-reconstruction playbook for object/site/environment scope

What's Inside​

This module builds from the matched camera to a verified model:

Phase 1: The Model

Build against the match

Phase 2: The Method

Keep it defensible and organized

Modeling from Matched Photos​

Modeling from Matched Photos: 6 min read

The video walkthrough: modeling against the matched camera, the scale pillar, and photomatching as the verification step.

You'll learn: How to model a site from the matched camera and verify it by photomatching source frames.

Geometric Reconstruction​

Geometric Reconstruction: 8 min read

The covering playbook: three scopes (object, site, environment) and the full phase flow.

You'll learn: The wider reconstruction workflow this course's site scope is one branch of — and the extension path to environmental/urban block-out.

Scale Estimation & Source Reliability​

Scale Estimation & Source Reliability: 12 min read

The scale pillar — source-reliability hierarchy, decision tree, and error propagation, applied here to keep model dimensions defensible.

You'll learn: How to keep your model's dimensions in a defensible confidence range.

Scene Management​

Scene Management: 10 min read

Keeping a complex reconstruction scene organized — collections, layers, naming, and iteration hygiene.

You'll learn: How to manage a scene that grows from one building to a full site without collapsing into chaos.
