Does anyone know what this (2nd) update entails? I'm hesitant about updating without knowing what this one is about. Thanks.

I'm going with iGuide. Cupix is still not quite there yet (but has every single bit of potential) and GeoCV is only available in New York (from what I understand). Then again, if a client hates Matterport, they'd hate on GeoCV a bit more.

If you can get the center to line up, you should get better results. The reason your minimap has a misalignment is due to the aggregation of minor errors as you scanned around the building. By the time you work your way around the large space, the compounding error is too large to resolve. Also, you...

I trimmed the top and it worked great! DUPLICATE the model first though. Let us know if it worked for you!

So if you pick an area that is in close proximity to the camera and park it, it should go fine. We find on bigger houses it works faster because one of us is marking up the APP while the other is placing the camera. I hope this helps. Ron

3 yearsRenderingSpace (604): I'm curious if any of you have had this problem after the Capture 2.1.1 update. In the email we got from MP on May 13th it said the number one improvement is: "Scans are only aligned against other scans on the same floor (or the preceding successful scan), to prevent false alignment between distinct but similar-looking floors." I don't know if this is related but hopefully they're working on getting out the glitches. I've had this...

3 yearsGarySnyder (1342): Update from Bob at MP support Hello Gary, I suspect you have already heard this through the grapevine but since it had been a few days since we chatted thought i would update you directly. While there continues to be investigation into the cause of this issue, there is some indication that it is memory related. Engineering is currently working on some improvements in this area which will likely make their way into the next release of the...

Thanks goodness I knew what to look out for this time or I would have bee screwed In so far as the new update which I had uploaded before the shoot it did no good so everyone please be aware if scans go missing look at your entire mini-map and I'm sure you will find the missing scan. Then delete the scan and move closed to the...

problem with uploading missing ONE FLOOR

3 yearsGarySnyder (1342): @3dvirtueletour it would appear that Showcase (SC) has combined some of your ground floor scan locations (the circles) with your first floor so the SC is confused. I would suggest removing the scan locations that are confusing SC and see if that solves your problem. These scan locations appear to be near the big carpeted open lounge area. Please let us know how you make out. Gary

Your question reminded me of MIT research in this video - http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/27/scientists-uncover-invisible-motion-in-video/?_r=0 It does not use scanning technology as such but accentuated video or timelapse could prove to be cheaper than laser tech.

3 yearsDanSmigrod (15145): @TripleSpaced Wow! I wonder if 25,000 sf is the record. I recently created this 16,000 sf model with 212 scans. (I probably shot nearly 400 scans; duplicated the model then deleted until I was at about 280 scans and then deactivated scans until I was at 212. I had managed our client's expectations that we might need to deliver as two separate models since officially Matterport supports up to 10,000 sf and update 200 scans. Plus, manage...

3 yearsdfellars (52): I have not had chance to speak with Matterport yet, but after going through some of my old scans and I think I know the problem. It is not where it stitches the 6 images together, but where the 3 images that make up each of those six images are stitched together. The Matterport camera is actually 3 separate camera units, each with three sensors. The higher resolution showcase images have to be stitched together top to bottom, before they can...

Here's what Bob at Matterport came back with, which reflects the same info you gave: "200 sweeps per model is the current official maximum number of scans per model. While its not a hard stop, it does have technical merit. Basically it was determined that a 200 sweep model was the maximum sized model that could be reliably / repeatedly processed and viewed without issue. While it is possible to go higher, its beyond...
