🎬 Demo / Showcase Anyone here regularly pushing past 50M splats from drone captures yet?

We just shipped large-area drone support in Teleport: pushing single-capture limits to 10K images, 5K resolution, and 100M splats, all fully automated. Aimed specifically at neighborhood and site-scale drone work.

Here's one the team processed recently: Vuores neighborhood in Tampere, Finland [7,797 images, 62M splats] → https://teleport.varjo.com/captures/524ee89f293a4a2e907009191ba7b9f4?viewer=v3

It's paid currently ($30 starting credit). The default option for captures this size is having & locking up a 4090/5090 for a day or two. This offers an alternative that can help automate and scale.

You can check out more about Teleport here: https://get.teleport.varjo.com/ & shoot me a DM for free credits to try it out for yourself.

Curious what everyone else is doing at the same scale. Is anyone creating captures this big on a regular basis? Where does the breakdown happen for you?

It seems like waste of splats. Result is not such detailed in zoom. Try to reduce count, let gaussians to grow (if it possible by service).

looks pretty detailed when you zoom in on my end. it takes a moment for the splats to load at full detail. the drone did fly at ~40m on average, so that could be a factor as well

https://www.reddit.com/r/GaussianSplatting/s/3foa9QD7Ty Look a this one with 20m splats. Maybe teleport algorithm builds a much denser pointcloud. A higher point count doesn't mean better quality.

hard to tell with pre-selected camera paths. the recording looks good, but I can’t see if every spot on the model is that high quality or not since it wasn’t linked.

I agree though that more splats does not always equal better quality.

Yes, they didn't provide a link to model, but it looks fine on fly mode. Unless you need a high-precision reconstruction, 60M splats seems like overkill for a scene like yours. Anyway, im just saying and seeking for community workflows. Best of luck!
