I'd remove the half page autoplaying "video" on the top of the landing page in that case.

Photogrammetry & image processing, anything to do with dimension reduction (basically every field with real-world sensor data), ontology/semantic data processing...

You could interpret it more generously as be not concerned over that which you do not control.

Shameless plug: I'm working on a project in this space (see my other comment on this post), I'd love to hear about your prefered workflow for ingesting 3d data into your editor.

Put another way, what output formats are most convenient for your use case? Are raw point clouds (XYZRGB) useful to you for eg. "prototyping volumes" or do you require meshes as a starting point? If the latter, how would you quantify how much retouching is acceptable (holes, suboptimal meshing, irregularities...) for an urban model?

If you'll allow a shameless plug: I'm about to publish a python package to help doing just that, by combining photogrammetric projects.

The workflow is take a couple hundred overlapping pictures, compute a model using an existing backend and store the image/3d data. Rinse and repeat. When you have a few neighbouring projects, we recompute submodels at the boundary and merge the involved 3d models by reprojection.

Currently wrangling some issues around packaging, a BSD licensed functional prototype should be out sometime next week. I'd love to get some users or eyes on it, do get in touch!

I am away from home atm but very interested in making this happen. I'll look into it a bit and get in touch by week's end! Thanks for the links.

I've been meaning to take a crack at a software version of this for insects/birds/plants, do you know of any good ideally libre sources for the data?

With pleasure, drop me a mail and I'll get back to you next week (last three letters of my username here @ rest of my username dot artificial intelligence). I haven't put anything online yet though sorry!

I'm working on a collaborative photogrammetry solution (think async/distributed 3d mapping from overlapping pictures) that shares data via IPFS. Flattering myself heavily, I believe this sort of public-data consuming application fits like nothing else.

I actually got into software/systems engineering working on internal software for "minor" player groups in EVE. The level of integration[0] those orgs had 10+ years ago outranks 80% of my current real-world clients in terms of discoverability, documentation and depth.

I mean that's what you get from a bunch of eve-playing nerds committing to a labor of love. Best projects I've ever had.

[0] Real time updating mining & trading boards by location, 100bn+ ISK inventory tracking down to the cent across many corps, characters, inventories & contracts, ... Killboard & market data feeds, risk evaluation, resource allocation optimisers... Absolutely impeccable archives & backups going back 5+ years, on top of postgres & flask iirc.

edit: And audit logs EVERYWHERE. Seriously, I've seen better CYA/KYC/chain of responsabilities from eve recruitment corps than some actual for profit entities.
