DIY Polycam

I work in architecture and construction

Polycam has been really helpful in my job for scanning houses and doing renovations. But polycam is truly a good piece of tech but it is really expensive. As much as i would like to pay for it, i cant afford it especially since it is a large indefinite cost.

I am experienced with coding, arduino, circuitpython, pcb design and soldering.

Is there any DIY way to replicate it using open source software and diy hardware?

Are there any existing workflows for my needs? Preferably a diy handheld device which i can walk around with?

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Photogrammetry help: I want to find the dimensions of the table that was in my kitchen to keep my wife happy

Hey, so the story is like this:

We bought a house. In it there was a table that perfectly matched the dimensions of the kitchen (it was long and narrow).

We requested buying the table from the sellers, but apparently it was a gift from their parents so they said no. We asked for the dimensions of the table, but they never gave it to us.

I can measure everything in the room (floorboards, etc). In theory I know that the table is can be thought of as a plane parallel to the floor, and that with geometry this should be possible with two photos. But I don't know where to start.

Hello,

Does anyone here use the Point Cloud Manager from Trimble?
I'm trying to convert a point cloud to a smaller size, but i don't know how to do it, and i can't find any helpful information online.
