360 Image Import

Hi, I have read various already posted queries regarding this topic but they all seem to be years old.  I have the software open now and cannot find the import 360 option so assume this feature is not yet implemented?

I am a land surveyor who also conducts measured building surveys currently with a 3D scanner.  Looking at Cupix & Matterport there would appear to be an opportunity to save a chunk of time on site from each project by using a 360 camera.  These software packages are aimed at estate agents and so not suit the requirements of a surveyor.

I'd like to use a RICOH Theta on a tripod with remote shoot internally.  I am not usually interested in much the detail inside and just need to capture the structure.  Externally I'd prefer highly detail elevations so could use my Canon EOS on a rotational rig.

If this feature was available in Capturing Reality I'd be using the software practically every week.

Is there any update?

Thanks

    Feature request vote. Seems in very high demand and losing potential enterprise customers for it!

    Any estimates on time frame for 360deg image support?

    It is perhaps the maths rather than any other issue why this has not been implemented. I suspect that 360 derived models cannot be of the same order of reliability as other photogrammetrically derived models. Nice to have does not equate with easy to have. Please prove me wrong.

    Feature request vote, please add this feature. currently there is a workaround using alicevision/metashape module to split the 360 photo to sub photos, then reimport back to RC, but its difficult moving back and forth big amount of images

    All requests are being added into our system, which improves the priority of the feature requests. 

    As Insepes 1 said, back-end of this feature may be tricky, so it make take some time before this feature is implemented.

    You can also add me to the list :)

    On the other hand..  years ago I experimented with going back from a sperical image to 6 seperate images.

    If you think about it..  it's not that difficult. 

    Picture a cube representing front, back, left, right, up and down on each face as texture.

    Use the sperical image as sperical projection on the cube and extract each face as a seperate image.

    Not sure what the distortion will do with photogrammetry but I guess with enough overlap that can also be calculated.

    I don't really see the problem why it's not supported yet :D

    This feature would massively increase our use of RC.

    It has been 6 years since it was requested and nothing has been done, what a shame.
