WGAN Question of the Day

Question of the Day: Does a 360 Camera Speed Capture of Matterport Tours?

Hi All,

The WGAN Forum Question of the Day for Friday, 20 September 2024:

Question of the Day: Does a 360 Camera Speed Capture of Matterport Tours?

Best,

Dan

P.S. This question was inspired by the following post in this WGAN Forum discussion:

Dan, I would remove "the speed of capture tradeoff" as I personally cannot see it any faster. You can walk with a pro3/pro2 rotating hiding yourself behind it but with a 360 camera you will need to hide for every shot and it takes time to hide and come back. Plus cortex that is used for this camera to convert visual data to 3D before starting an alignment is more likely required more time to process it than it is required for Pro2/pro3 scans.

The only real advantage of 360 cameras for Matterport versus using their native devices is that it is instant all sides capture which can eliminate moving objects/subject ghosting. However you can still ghosts from HDR merging.

I would agree with @Wingman the speed difference is negligible compared to the quality difference between the 2

Are 360 captures zoomable in Matterport Showcase?
And which 360 camera compatible Matterport gives the best quality and resolution?

@MeshImages

The Ricoh Theta X or Z1 provide the best image quality ~ I found the supported Insta360's to be pretty grainy. This was also true with the Theta V and SC2

The Ricoh Theta Z1 can really struggle with Yellowing in certain lighting scenarios
