What problem does it solve?
Archaeological researchers need to turn photogrammetry outputs into clean, measurable 3D geometry for quantifying volumes, surface area, cross-sections, and visual surface properties without spending days on manual cleanup.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Point cloud cleaning: Remove statistical outliers and smooth/prepare geometry for reliable downstream measurements.
- Mesh reconstruction & geometry metrics: Generate triangle meshes, compute surface area, estimate volume when watertight (or approximate when not), and remove common Poisson artifacts via density trimming.
- Cross-section profiling & morphology: Extract height/radius profiles from 3D data to support comparative artifact analysis.
- Color & roughness analysis: Analyze RGB distributions across artifact zones and compute a roughness proxy from surface normals.
