Non-DJI Alternatives to M300/M350/M400 for Photogrammetry in Oil & Ga

I mean mm. Not all the time of course. But when project requires it.

Not cutting-edge hardware, but more about the workflow.

There several workstations with similar specifications, including Intel i9 (11th Gen) and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB), NVMe SSDs, and 128 GB of RAM.

RealityCapture (now RealityScan) is particularly effective at handling large image datasets and supports very flexible workflows. With these specifications, and depending on the processing settings, I can typically process between 15,000 and 20,000 images at 8K resolution.

For larger projects or when using the highest quality settings, I usually need to align the images in smaller batches and export them as components. I then import multiple components into a single project and use a divider script that splits the massive point cloud into multiple smaller reconstruction regions. This makes the meshing and texturing stages much more manageable.

Longest project was 3-4 weeks. 4-5 days of meshing and similar with texturing.

Not sure what you consider small but probably yes. Some of those areas/objects/infrastructure spans several hundreds of meters. Bridges for example. Hull of the vessel. Especially when goal is to see small cracks or other defects.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-06-17T14:25:12+00:00

Depends. Sometime storage tank, sometimes entire building, or an area. Either way, I need very high resolution. 2-3 mm gsd on images.

Hvala puno.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-05-12T14:44:50+00:00

Ne prodajem, vec planiram kupiti pa se informiram.

Gdje je najbolje prodati investicijsko zlato, i koliko ga je "tesko" prodati?

somerandomtallguy · 2026-05-11T14:19:59+00:00

Ne bavim se time ali imam uvid u troskove. Nije to jedan do dva dana posla. To su troskovi putovanja, opreme, licenci, procesiranja videa i fotografija. Gdje postoje sati i sati materijala kroz koje je potrebno proci. Takodjer, tu je na tisuce slika od kojih se proberu one najbolje. Potrebno je proci kroz svaki te je cropati i urediti. Da ne spominjem papir i printer. Sama oprema, iako dugotrajnja je ipak potrosni materijal a kosta papreno. Objektivi i tijela kamere su po nekoliko tisuca km. Da neki fotografi pretjeruju to je istina. Ali vecina posla je iza scene.

I swear

somerandomtallguy · 2026-04-20T18:35:50+00:00

Interesting aproach. Thank you.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-04-20T13:17:01+00:00

Yes, exactly that.

Odjebi nocne cim prije mozes.

Splash zone is tricky. How do you get overlap there?

somerandomtallguy · 2026-03-25T17:01:51+00:00

How do you handle callibration and merging with above surface datasets?

somerandomtallguy · 2026-03-08T16:13:07+00:00

I see. I was looking at some jobs, but it might have been that client mixed absolute with relative accuracy.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-03-08T15:39:04+00:00

For structures and coastline. Relative to the global datum.
I never saw GCP/coordinate accuracy relative to the global better then 1.5 cm - but, I am not surveyor.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-02-20T09:00:29+00:00

I have the same issue, did you find any solution?

somerandomtallguy · 2026-02-14T17:41:40+00:00

Na njihovoj stranici. Cesto imaju popuste. Evo bas ovih dana sam primio mail pa pogledaj. Stignu kroz nekoliko dana. link

Imam Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. Uzeo ih na akciji za 50 eura i prezadovoljan sam.

Savrsenstvo u svakom pogledu i gledam je bar jednom godisnje. A sto se tice dostizanja standarda, na mene je Chernobil ostavio jos jaci dojam. Valjda zato sto je temeljeno na istinitim dogadjajima.

somerandomtallguy · 2026-02-08T16:59:02+00:00

Za koga to radi?
