A note from Dr. Florent PouxReconstruction is the gateway drug to 3D AI. Once you can turn the world into reliable digital geometry, every other module — segmentation, deep learning, agents — becomes ten times more powerful.

2. Technical Stack & Pedagogical Means

Software stack: Python and the standard 3D ecosystem (Open3D, Laspy, NumPy, PyTorch, CloudCompare, Meshroom — adapted to the course focus).
Hardware: any modern laptop (Windows, macOS, Linux). GPU recommended for deep learning modules.
Datasets: reference datasets and notebooks provided.
Infrastructure: proprietary LMS with 24/7 access, automated quizzes, progress tracking and digital course materials.
Modality: alternates theory and hands-on practice — code, real datasets, software use and shippable project deliverables.
Theory resources: video lessons, written handouts, curated research articles and PhD-level references.

3. Course Structure

Module	Title & Focus
M1	Setup & toolbox Environment, RealityCapture, Python automation.
M2	Photogrammetry & metric reconstruction Acquisition, georeferencing, large scale.
M3	AI depth & generative 3D MiDaS, DepthAnything, Stable Diffusion to 3D.
M4	3D Gaussian Splatting Capture, hands-on, web experiences.
M5	From point clouds to assets Meshing, marching cubes, voxels, Blender.
M6	AR, VR & delivery Unreal, AR Geospatial, virtual worlds.

Why this structure, Dr. Florent PouxThe 6 modules are ordered the way I build systems in production, not the way a textbook would list them. If you are new to the topic, follow the sequence. If you are experienced, you can jump ahead, but come back to M6 before the oral defence. That's where everything ties together.

M1 — Setup & toolbox

Environment, RealityCapture, Python automation.

The setup and 3D reconstruction toolbox.
AI for 3D applications and asset monetisation.
AI, LLMs and Agentic AI for 3D reconstruction.
Reconstructor OS overview and toolbox.
Professional tool: RealityCapture.
3D reconstruction pipeline overview.
3D Python: 100% automation.
Camera calibration (images / video).

M2 — Photogrammetry & metric reconstruction

Acquisition, georeferencing, large scale.

3D reconstruction fundamentals.
Photogrammetry: data acquisition.
Metric reconstruction with georeferencing.
Large-scale reconstruction.
Automation with batch processes.

M3 — AI depth & generative 3D

MiDaS, DepthAnything, Stable Diffusion to 3D.

Deep learning for depth estimation.
Monocular image to 3D voxels.
Generative AI for 3D reconstruction.
MiDaS and DepthAnything v2 deep dives.
Image to 3D voxel datasets; Stable Diffusion / DALL-E to 3D.

M4 — 3D Gaussian Splatting

Capture, hands-on, web experiences.

3D Gaussian Splatting base knowledge.
3D GS hands-on.
3D GS web experience creation.
3D point cloud web GS.

Mid-course checkpoint, Dr. Florent PouxWhen you reach M4 — 3D Gaussian Splatting, stop and apply what you've learned to a dataset you actually care about. The back half of the course goes faster when the first half sits on a real example, not a toy one.

M5 — From point clouds to assets

Meshing, marching cubes, voxels, Blender.

The 3D data engine.
Point cloud to mesh with Python.
The 3D marching cubes app.
Point cloud to voxels.
Blender, Python and MCP AI.

M6 — AR, VR & delivery

Unreal, AR Geospatial, virtual worlds.

AR, VR, 3D reconstruction fundamentals.
Creating a point cloud virtual world (Desktop + Web).
Building 3D experiences with AI and open-source tools.
RealityCapture to Unreal Engine.
Working with textures and future perspectives.
3D MapAnything.

Expert tip — Dr. Florent PouxDon't skip Module 1's Python automation. The teams who automate early ship reconstructions in hours; the teams who don't burn weeks per project.
