Photogrammetry Reconstruction

Photogrammetry Reconstruction

Reconstruct a 3D model from photographs and download the result.

1. Create the photoscene. The scene type and output format are fixed at creation time and drive how the photogrammetry engine reconstructs the geometry.
2. Upload photos into the photoscene. Processing will reject a scene with fewer than three photos, so callers with more images repeat this step before starting the job.
3. Start the photogrammetry reconstruction. Returns 400 when the scene does not yet hold enough photos.
4. Poll the photoscene until its status reaches Done. Reconstruction of a large aerial set takes a long time, so this loop is deliberately patient, and it ends the workflow if the engine reports Error.
5. Resolve a temporary download link for the reconstructed scene in the requested format. Returns 404 while the result is not yet ready.

What you'll need to have ready

• sceneName: Name for the photoscene.
• sceneType: Processing type: "aerial" for drone or survey imagery, "object" for close-range captures.
• format: Output format: rcm, rcs, obj, or ortho.
• gpsType: GPS data type carried by the photos: none, wgs84, or nadcon.
• callback: Optional URL notified when processing completes.
• firstPhoto: The first image file. Reality Capture requires at least 3 photos.
• secondPhoto: An additional image file uploaded in the same request.
• resultFormat: The format to download the finished result in: rcm, rcs, obj, ortho, or report.
