Lidar ExtractorCloud process — Gaussian Splatting online
Turn your scans into photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splats right from the app, no powerful GPU needed. Processing runs on our cloud servers: you submit, we compute, you get the result.
How it works
- Create an account in the app (Cloud tab → "Create an account"), confirm your email.
- Get tokens: 1 token = 1 splat (≤ 500 images), 2 above. Buy packs, or receive some for free as a donor.
- Submit your scan: the app uploads the dataset, the cloud runs SfM + training, you get the .ply to open in the viewer.
Donors get free tokens to try it — see below.
📸 Scanning well for a good splat
Splat quality depends mostly on how you capture. A few simple rules:
- ✅ Move slowly around the subject: every area should be seen from several angles, with good overlap between frames.
- ✅ Cover everything: go all the way around, up and down a bit, return to the start (loop closure).
- ✅ Keep a steady distance: walk calmly rather than rushing.
- ✅ Even lighting: avoid abrupt exposure changes (alternating sun/shade).
⚠️ What makes a splat fail (avoid this)
- 🚫 Too fast movement → motion blur → reconstruction fails. Slow down.
- 🚫 Reflective or transparent surfaces (glass, water, shiny metal, mirrors): they fool the algorithm. Prefer matte, textured surfaces.
- 🚫 Textureless areas (plain white wall, sky, uniform floor): nothing to lock onto. Frame detailed elements.
- 🚫 Very large open scenes (hundreds of meters): still tricky today — prefer well-bounded subjects or areas.
- 🚫 Too little overlap between frames: each point should appear in several views.
💡 If a job fails, your token is not charged — retry with a better capture.
🎁 Donors: free tokens to try it
