Polycam’s web platform allows you to create 3D models using Photogrammetry.
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.
How to Upload to Polycam Web
1. Navigate to Upload: On the right-hand side of the page, locate the Tools section and click on the Upload button
2. Choose Photogrammetry Mode: From the dropdown menu, select Photogrammetry creator & viewer, as it is the processing mode for creating 3D models from images or videos.
3.Upload Files: For images, drag and drop your photos, or click Choose Files to upload. For videos, upload your video file directly. Polycam will extract frames for the photogrammetry process.
4. Start Upload: Once the files are selected, click Upload to begin the process.
Processing Settings
Polycam will process the images or video frames in the cloud. Depending on the number of files and their size, processing may take a few minutes to an hour.
- Isolate object from environment: Enable this option if you have flipped or rotated your object while capturing to help the system identify the object while scanning.
- Sequential: Enable this option if your uploaded images are in order to help with the capture process.
