One may think that it is easier to shoot an aerial video than to reconstruct a 3D model. No, it’s the opposite. To publish a video clip, you need always edit the raw footage before publishing it. To get a 3D model, all you need to do is to choose an area to be reconstructed, then go ahead …

What you need:

• A drone (for examples, DJI Phantom 3, 4K/Standard/Advanced/Pro, Phantom 4, Inspire 1 PRO/RAW) (not free :)
• Altizure APP (free)
• Altizure.com account (free)

Step 1: Capture photos using Altizure APP.

The easiest is to use Altizure App (available for iOS or Android) for fully automatic data capturing. You may also manually fly your drone to capture challenging scenes. (Learn more at Data capture)

Step 2: Upload images.

Create a project and upload your images in your desktop browser. The uploading is resumable if it stops due to bad network. No need to install any software.

Step 3: Wait for the 3D model.

The reconstruction is fully automatic. A notification will be sent to your registered email when the project finishes.

So just wait for a while… Take a nap and have some snack.
