ContextCapture Desktop CONNECT Edition 2023 (23.0.0.1317)

ContextCapture CONNECT Edition 2023 - v23.0.0

Start your ground extraction from ContextCapture with a new interface (Tech preview feature)
Generate a classified point cloud from your reality mesh or point cloud productions. Use ContextCapture Editor, Microstation or other third-party applications to generate your terrain model from the classified point cloud.



Extract Insights from your reality data (Tech preview feature)
New software architecture to better support your reality data analysis workflows.
- Automate defects and crack detection of your infrastructure
- Detect objects in 2D or 3D in your image collections
- Classify or Anonymize your reality data



And more ..

ContextCaptureproduces high resolution 3D models from simple photographs, without any human intervention. To achieve this, ContextCapture uses cutting edge photogrammetry, computer vision and computational geometry algorithms fulfilling industrial-quality requirements in terms of precision, scalability, efficiency, usage, robustness and interoperability.
ContextCapture 2023optimizes the usage of your hardware to process your data quicker and enable faster deliveries. Reconstruction is 25% faster than ContextCapture Update 20 on average. Optimize your calibration step with a new aerotriangulation adjust mode which allows you to avoid full images poses computation and get a better calibration results 3 times faster, even if input photo positions and orientations are not very accurate.

ContextCapture 2023 - Tutorial: Ground Extraction

In this video, you will learn how to trigger a ground extraction job to generate a classified point cloud with two classes (ground and non-ground). This feature is in Tech Preview.
