Azad Balabanian shared his latest experiment.
Through photogrammetry, Azad Balabanian preserves memory in 3D, whether it's a mausoleum in Cannes or his old Toyota 4Runner, now a digital space he can revisit anytime. In his latest project, he reprocessed high-megapixel photogrammetry datasets of another car using Gaussian splatting techniques in Nerfstudio.
Nerfstudio is a tool for training and visualizing Neural Radiance Fields models that turn regular photos of a scene into detailed 3D reconstructions. Almost four years ago, Azad trained his first NeRF using this same scan dataset. Since then, the visual quality has improved dramatically, and real-time rendering has reportedly jumped from 10 FPS to over 100:
