About

Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions. Overlapping photos from drones and ground-level imagery, supplemented by laser scans where needed.

About

PhotoMesh is photogrammetry software that processes aerial, drone, and ground imagery, video, and LiDAR into georeferenced 2D and 3D geospatial products. It generates textured 3D meshes, Gaussian splatting models, point clouds, true orthophotos, and digital surface and terrain models. Aerotriangulation, ground control points, quality reporting, and alignment with existing 3D data or LiDAR support repeat surveys, change detection, mapping, infrastructure engineering, and asset inspection. PhotoMesh handles large image collections and can distribute project processing across multiple fuser machines or cloud resources. It supports RGB, multispectral, and thermal imagery. Outputs include 3DML, 3D Tiles, I3S/SLPK, LAS, and GeoTIFF for GIS and 3D visualization workflows. REST APIs support production automation and project-queue management. The desktop software runs on Windows, with Linux support for fuser installations; a separate managed cloud-processing service is also available.
