This release is all about scalability, speed, and flexibility. Whether you’re mapping a single city block or an entire country, ArcGIS Reality Studio gives you the tools to process massive datasets efficiently, adapt to changing priorities, and deliver high-quality results faster.
Gaussian Splats – Next Level Reality Mapping
ArcGIS Reality Studio’s latest release greatly enhances its ability to generate high-fidelity 3D models by introducing Gaussian splats. This feature allows you to convert drone and aerial imagery spanning entire cities and countries into detailed 3D representations of the real world. The new layer opens additional applications and improves existing ones thanks to its ability to accurately and consistently capture fine details like poles, wires, translucent surfaces, and complex structures.
Expanded Large Area Mapping with Drone Imagery
Improvements to the flying autonomy and fixed-wing technology of drones have led to their increasing use for large area mapping. With this release, Reality Studio extends its sensor support beyond large frame aerial cameras and includes drone imagery. JPEG images can now be seamlessly imported, aligned and transformed into high quality geospatial products like Gaussian splats, Meshes, DSMs and True Orthos.
Faster, Scalable Image Alignment
The alignment of large imagery collections can take valuable time. This new version splits the image alignment process into multiple tasks that can be distributed across multiple machines. This enhancement not only speeds up processing but also frees up your machine for working on other tasks or focus solely on project management.
Adapt to Schedule Changes with Project Priorities
Reacting to unforeseen complications and changes in the delivery timeline no longer needs add-hoc changes to your processing cluster setup. The new job priority management feature lets you prioritize urgent projects or group projects together with similar delivery dates. You can now confidently adapt to changing customer needs without losing progress or risking additional delays.
Deploy Large Processing Clusters with the New Reality Studio Node
Deploying and managing large processing clusters is now easier than ever. The Reality Studio Node executable provides a command line interface that enables you to automate the deployment of large clusters and simplifies the user experience by separating project management and monitoring from processing. This means faster deployments and greater flexibility for scaling operations.
Ensure Optimal Hardware Utilization with Smart Node Assignment
Hardware-aware task assignment ensures that each node is assigned tasks suitable for its hardware specification. Less powerful machines are leveraged to complete lighter tasks while high-performance machines are assigned more demanding tasks. The optimal use of heterogeneous hardware maximizes processing throughput and stability.
Reduce Configuration Errors Using Processing Templates
Take advantage of the ability to save and load alignment and reconstruction templates to efficiently and securely manage projects with similar requirements. By utilizing templates, you minimize manual errors and reduce setup time, ensuring consistent and reliable results across all projects. Reusing the same templates on multiple machines further streamlines your workflow and helps standardize production processes.
