How HD Enhancement on XGRIDS PortalCam boosts 3DGS models
Side-by-side datasets show how HD Enhancement on XGRIDS PortalCam boosts small scene reconstruction, improving clarity of fine details in 3D models.
The difference is in the detail: XGRIDS PortalCam's new HD Enhancement delivered a sharper reconstruction of the finer parts of a DJI M400.
This feature improves visual clarity and spatial definition in targeted areas.
The result: Enhanced detailing of the drone's vents and gimbal connector. And clearer text on the Matrice branding and the name sticker on our drone (yes, this one's called Atlas, after Greek mythology).
HD Enhancement improves small screen reconstruction, supplementing PortalCam scan data with additional images captured on a mobile phone or DSLR camera.
Key HD Enhancement principles include:
Use a phone or wide-angle camera with consistent focal length and frame size.
Capture 20+ consecutive images per area with >80% overlap.
Maintain sharp focus, stable exposure, and minimal camera motion.
Align camera views with original PortalCam captures for seamless data integration.
Avoid reflective surfaces, solid colors, and dynamic objects.
Why it matters: Better input = better reconstruction. Whether you're documenting cultural heritage, scanning interiors, or capturing products, HD Enhancement helps turn good scans into great models.
