3D guassian splatting might supplant polygonal 3D for many things. At least for 3D scanned scenes it might make sense. For synthetic scenes it might make sense as well. Very interesting technology! I do a lot with drone photogrammetry, I'm keeping an eye on this tech.

Yeah, I was thinking of applying this to drone photogrammetry also. Care to share a list of your core software tools?

I haven't done any myself yet, but I'm looking to do some ASAP... both drone and non-drone.

So far using OpenDroneMap. Make sure to use the non-default planar mode for much better reliability in the OpenSFM phase. Also experimenting with Colmap, which requires CUDA (with OpenDroneMap CUDA is optional; they support CPU-only as well as GPU I believe)

Thanks for the info!
