“Everything from census data, real estate property data and BIM asset IDs can be added.”īut high-resolution images mean large files, and lots of large files can put heavy demands on computers.
Roberts says, “You can apply data to it”-and therein lies the power. The “reality mesh”-that is, the resulting 3D model-is not just for visualization it can produce an engineering-grade model, he adds.

You just take some photos, and the software gives you a navigable 3D model,” says Bentley’s Huw Roberts, vice president of platform advantage. “ContextCapture doesn’t require special equipment or surveyors. If done correctly, the accuracy can be to the millimeter, says Pons. The higher the resolution of the photos and the closer to the target they’re taken, the higher the quality of the model. Pons says the software automatically matches pixel patterns from adjacent images to join the photos into a 3D model. “The accuracy is dependent on the operator,” says Jean Philippe Pons, a director of software development at Bentley and former CEO of Acute3D, the company that developed the technology behind ContextCapture. He has experimented with a trial version of the product and likes its speed. “ContextCapture’s ability to stitch together photos and develop an accurate mesh is hard to even think about mathematically,” adds William Pratt, transportation principal engineer with the Connecticut Dept.
