Photo Fly UAV Project Workflow
After your photo project has been successfully initiated and processed by ReCap's Photo-to-3D service, you can use ReCap's web or desktop application to navigate your project, or prepare it for integration into another Autodesk program.
If you have exported your photo project as a point cloud (RCS format), you may want to also refer to the Scan Project Workflow From this point, you can use most of the desktop application's features, except RealView, which supports only point cloud projects built with structured data produced from fixed-position captures (most laser scans).
- Create the project.
- Photo-to-3D Processing.
- Edit and adjust the processed images and reprocess as needed.
- Export the project.
- View and navigate your project.
- Download the project.
Workflow and Use Cases
There are many variables that affect how you design your UAV project. From choosing hardware, to scene evaluation, to the flight path, to processing your project in ReCap Pro, no formulas is identical. Even a slight variance in time of day can alter consistency across the most similar of projects, or captures within the same project.
Images from UAVs are processed through the Photo Project workflows and are known as ReCap "Fly" projects.
This walkthrough workflow focuses on the small UAVs typically used to capture buildings, homes, stockpiles; essentially, any UAV aerial 3D still-image reconstruction project you wish to launch within ReCap.
