The manufacturing class photogrammetry applications require extremely high resolutions, while at the same time there are photogrammetry frameworks in use by the VFX industry that are tuned to a lower fidelity because those results are going into a digital artist production pool - who will remodel or fix any issues. These photogrammetry frameworks are real time, if not several times faster.
Thanks. So for the manufacturing class, do you mean things like creaform or similar tools from hexagon and atos and the like, or are there some specific niches for 'slower but much more accurate ' photogrammetry ?
I have a VFX background, so that's the systems I've been exposed. At one point the studio I worked asked me to survey other photogrammetry software and frameworks, and every one I found other than the one we'd re-written for our purposes was intended for manufacturing with manufacturing precisions.
At this point, I've been out of the VFX industry for over a decade, but my social set is still mostly people from VFX. Asking one of them, that framework has been continually worked on this entire time and has different variations at multiple VFX studios.
