Buildings and facades
Use orbit-style coverage for structures with vertical faces and details.
Drone capture to 3DGS
Create Gaussian Splats from drone capture workflows.
Use aerial and outdoor capture data to generate browser-ready 3D scenes. FreeGaussian helps turn structured drone footage and photo passes into realistic spatial previews.
Best paths
01Outdoor
Sites and structures
Capture buildings, landscapes, facades, paths, and open areas.
02Overlap
Grid and orbit passes
Use structured paths to reduce holes and capture vertical faces.
03Private
Project data
Use private processing when drone data belongs to clients or sites.
For aerial reconstruction
Drone capture gives Gaussian Splatting a wider scene canvas.
Drone workflows are useful for large outdoor environments, facades, landscapes, and commercial sites. Good flight planning and overlap make the final splat more stable and complete.
Large-area coverage
Document outdoor spaces and structures that are hard to capture from the ground alone.
Planned flight paths
Combine grids, orbits, and detail passes to capture both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Lighting awareness
Stable light and controlled motion reduce flicker, glare, and reconstruction artifacts.
Flight planning
Structured coverage matters. Use overlapping passes, oblique angles, and steady motion to give the reconstruction enough visual evidence.
Drone workflow
Plan coverage before you process the scene.

Drone use cases
Useful for outdoor spaces that need realistic spatial review.
Squares and public spaces
Capture broad environments with grids, perimeter passes, and overlap.
Paths and landscapes
Document walkable outdoor routes, gardens, approaches, and site context.
Use drone capture patterns that reduce reconstruction gaps.
Drone Gaussian Splatting works best when the source data has steady movement, sufficient overlap, and coverage from multiple angles.
Grid passes
Useful for broad horizontal coverage and open outdoor spaces.
Orbit passes
Capture facades and structures from oblique angles.
Private plan
Recommended for client sites, commercial data, and sensitive locations.
