Reality capture

Reality capture is the process of collecting accurate, detailed digital representations of physical environments or objects using advanced technologies like laser scanning or photogrammetry (taking many photographs). These methods create precise 3D models that can be used for analysis, planning, visualization, or documentation. It’s widely used in architecture, construction, heritage preservation, and manufacturing to efficiently document spaces, track changes over time, or support design and decision-making without the need for manual measurements. Essentially, reality capture transforms real-world scenes into accurate digital formats for various practical applications.
