Reality Capture & 3D Reconstruction

3D Gaussian Splatting Course

From a video off your phone to a 3D scene a client can open, measure and download. One tool, seven stages, every number measured on a real capture.

Florent

Note from Florent

This course is built around one piece of software, splatkit, and you’ll run every stage of it yourself. Each lesson ships one stage, and every claim comes from a run I’ve measured, including the ones that failed.


What you will build

Module 01

Capture

From a real capture to frames worth training on, and the pose of every photograph.

Module 02

Initialisation

Your cloud and their images in one coordinate frame, and what initialisation actually buys.

Module 03

Training

The training loop and its four knobs, repairing a real capture, more quality, extending and merging.

Module 04

Level of detail

Why your scene will not stream, building the levels, and streaming without popping.

Module 05

Splats to models

Point clouds, meshes and semantic priors, each scored against a reference.

Module 06

The software you ship

The control panel and the viewer a client measures in, the twelve delivery formats, and the product around the tool.
