Modeling from Matched Photos

MODULE SYLLABUSINTERMEDIATE

📖2 min read

Introduction

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.

Learning Outcomes

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

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

Module Contents

This module builds from the matched camera to a verified model. Work the steps in order.

The Camera Match· 9 min read

The first half: align the satellite scene, choose the reference image, solve the camera, anchor it with a measured distance, and verify the match.

You'll learn: How the second anchor is built, and how to tell a match that is right from one that only looks right.

Modeling & Photomatching· 9 min read

The second half: block out the building against the matched camera in edit mode, then verify it by photomatching back onto the source frames.

You'll learn: The modeling pass, and the check that turns a model into evidence.
