Q & A
What is 3D scanning and how does it relate to photogrammetry?
-3D scanning is the process of converting 2D images into a three-dimensional model, and photogrammetry is a method used in 3D scanning that involves taking multiple photos of an object or environment to create a detailed 3D representation. It is widely used in various fields such as entertainment, medical, and engineering.
What is Kiri Engine and how does it differ from other 3D scanning apps?
-Kiri Engine is a versatile 3D scanning and augmented reality tool that offers multiple ways to create 3D models, including traditional photogrammetry and the newly emerging NeRF technology. It differs from other apps as it is available for both iPhone and Android, and it is one of the few platforms that currently offer the NeRF technology for 3D scanning.
What are the limitations of photogrammetry in 3D scanning?
-Photogrammetry requires distinct features in the images, such as changes in color or shape, to create a complete 3D model. It may struggle with objects that have limited feature points, such as single-colored objects, transparent or translucent materials, and highly reflective surfaces.
What is NeRF technology and how does it improve upon photogrammetry?
-NeRF, or neural Radiance Field, is a machine learning technology that uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct 3D scenes from a set of images or a video. It can create 3D models of scenes and objects that lack enough feature points for traditional photogrammetry, making it capable of handling more challenging materials and surfaces.
What is the Norlandulo technique and how does it compare to NeRF?
-Norlandulo is an advanced technique based on NeRF that not only generates neural rendered scenes but also produces high-quality meshes that are usable in 3D software like Blender. It addresses some of the shortcomings of NeRF, particularly in terms of mesh quality and usability in standard 3D pipelines.
How does Kiri Engine implement Norlandulo technology?
-Kiri Engine has integrated the Norlandulo technology into its platform, making it the only app currently available on both iPhone and Android that allows users to try Norlandulo for 3D scanning. This feature is accessed through a 'featureless' option in the app, where users can record a video of the object they want to scan.
What are the advantages of using Kiri Engine's featureless scanning mode?
-The featureless scanning mode in Kiri Engine, powered by Norlandulo, allows users to scan objects that might be difficult for traditional photogrammetry, such as objects with reflective surfaces or lack of distinct features. It also has the potential to improve mesh quality and make the 3D models more suitable for various applications.
How long should the video be for using Kiri Engine's featureless scanning mode?
-Kiri Engine limits the video length to 2 minutes for featureless scanning due to server limitation purposes. This duration should be sufficient for most scanning tasks.
What is the processing time for Kiri Engine's featureless scanning mode?
-The processing time for the featureless scanning mode in Kiri Engine might be slightly longer than traditional photogrammetry due to the complexity of the NeRF and Norlandulo technologies involved. However, optimizations are ongoing to improve this aspect.
Will NeRF and Norlandulo replace photogrammetry in the future?
-While NeRF shows promise in handling challenging materials and surfaces, it currently cannot replace photogrammetry for creating high-quality 3D models and textures. However, Norlandulo, with its improved mesh quality and usability, could potentially become a stronger contender for replacing photogrammetry in certain applications.
What other features does Kiri Engine offer besides the featureless mode?
-Besides the featureless mode, Kiri Engine offers a web app, an access library, the ability to create a floor plane, in-app editing, texturing, and many other features to enhance the 3D scanning and modeling experience.
