Seeing the Unseen: Capturing Cables and Lines with 3D Gaussian Splatting
Thin infrastructure elements like power lines, suspension cables, and radio tower guy-wires have long been difficult to capture accurately with traditional photogrammetry or LiDAR. In this first session of our two-part series, discover how 3D Gaussian Splatting revolutionizes the way contractors and engineers visualize and analyze these complex assets.
Join us to explore how this cutting-edge technique - now supported in iTwin Capture Modeler - enables rapid, photorealistic modeling of cables and wires with stunning accuracy. From drone imagery to high-performance 3D visualization, learn how to bridge the gap between what you capture and what you need to see.
Ideal for: Contractors, surveyors, and engineering teams working with high-voltage lines, suspension bridges, or tower infrastructure.
What you will learn:
Why traditional capture methods miss fine cable details What makes Gaussian Splatting ideal for linear and suspended structures How to generate high-fidelity models directly from images Live example: drone-to-splat workflow in iTwin Capture Modeler
