THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NERF AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY 3D SCAN

In the realm of 3D scanning and modeling, two technologies stand out: NeRF and
Photogrammetry. Each has unique features and applications. This article explores
these differences, drawing insights from a recent experiment.

NERF: A NOVEL APPROACH

NeRF, or Neural Radiance Fields, represents a cutting-edge approach in 3D
technology. It’s a method that uses deep learning to create 3D models from 2D
images. Unlike traditional 3D modeling, NeRF doesn’t rely on physical scanners.

Instead, it uses algorithms to understand and reconstruct the 3D space. This
process results in highly realistic and detailed models.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY: THE CLASSIC TECHNIQUE

Photogrammetry, on the other hand, is a more established method. It involves
taking multiple photographs of an object from different angles. These images are
then used to create a 3D model.

The model consists of meshes and textures. This technique is widely used due to
its simplicity and effectiveness. It’s particularly popular in archaeology,
architecture, and film.

KEY DIFFERENCES

The main difference between these two lies in their approach and output.
Photogrammetry generates a 3D model with meshes and textures. It’s a more direct
method, using actual photographs to create the model. NeRF, however, uses a
neural network to interpret and reconstruct the 3D space from images. This
results in a more detailed and realistic model.

In conclusion, both NeRF and Photogrammetry have their unique strengths. NeRF
excels in creating highly realistic models, while Photogrammetry is more
straightforward and widely applicable. As technology advances, we can expect
improvements in both fields, leading to even more impressive 3D scanning and
modeling capabilities.
