Polycam for Web
Capture High-Quality Images or Videos
-
Uploading Images: Take multiple photos of your object or environment from different angles. Make sure the photos overlap by 60-80% to allow for proper stitching during the processing stage. Depending on the complexity of the subject, you may need anywhere between 20 and 2,000 images.
- Uploading Videos: If you prefer to use videos, ensure your footage is steady and covers the entire subject from all necessary angles. Polycam can process video files and extract frames for 3D reconstruction.
