What it is?

Within the initiative of consolidating Reality data capabilities (creation, management and delivery) under a unique brand, ContextCapture desktop application is renamed iTwin Capture Modeler. iTwin Capture Modeler is the desktop application that allows you to create engineering-ready reality data—such as reality meshes, classified point clouds, anonymized images, and orthophotos of any size and resolution—using any digital camera, scanner, or mobile mapping device. Use an advanced set of features, such as masks, water constraints, or advanced retouching capabilities to enhance your reality data.

 For who?

Any infrastructure practitioners who needs to create reality data and extract insights to feed a digital twin with real-world conditions. In more details, surveyors, mappers, drone pilots or photogrammetrists used to operate photogrammetry software and laser scanning can find in iTwin Capture Modeler all the capabilities to create engineering-ready reality data.

 As well as the legacy software ContextCapture, iTwin Capture Modeler is available in two versions:

•  iTwin Capture Modeler is the photogrammetry desktop solution dedicated to small to mid-size projects. You can connect up to two iTwin Capture Modeler instances running on two different computers to execute parallelized processing and reduce your processing time*. (*each iTwin Capture Modeler requires his own license) 

• iTwin Capture Modeler Center is dedicated to create a digital replica of heavy and complex infrastructure or city scale projects from thousands of images and or billions points of point clouds. This version allows you to scale up your processing capabilities based on your dedicated IT infrastructure to handle massive volume of input  data*.  ( *each iTwin Capture Modeler Center Master and Engine requires his own license)

 What's new?

The capabilities of iTwin Capture Modeler are now centered on reality data creation, the complementary module ContextCapture Editor coming with a ContextCapture license or subscription is now deprecated and will not be included with an iTwin Capture Modeler license.

ContextCapture 2023 to iTwin Capture 2023 software enhancements:

• Optimization of the job queue management for large number of engines
• Fixed sharing of photo orientations when some photos were removed from the block
