Overview
What this challenge is about.
Reconstruct a heritage facade from 250 photos using SfM and MVS, then validate the scaled mesh. Earn your verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The Florence consultancy (10 people) competes with larger Italian engineering firms on price-per-square-meter of reconstructed facade and lives or dies on whether its deliverables clear the structural engineer's sniff test.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Deliver a metric-scaled, textured 3D reconstruction of a heritage facade from phone photos, with documented sub-2cm accuracy.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Execute a full SfM + MVS pipeline on a real outdoor dataset
- Apply ground control points to convert arbitrary-scale reconstructions to metric units
- Diagnose reconstruction failure modes (texture-less regions, repeated patterns)
- Communicate geometric uncertainty to a non-vision audience
