How to Combine Drone and iPhone Data for a 3D House Model in Reality Capture? (Using Only GCPs)

Hi everyone!

I’m working on a project to create a full 3D model of a house, including the exterior, garden, and interior, all in one unified model. I’m a complete beginner to photogrammetry and could really use some guidance!

I’d like to combine data from my drone, iPhone, and a potential 360 camera purchase to capture the entire space. I don’t have access to RTK, so I’ll be relying only on Ground Control Points (GCPs) for alignment accuracy.

Here’s what I need help with:

Workflow Tips: How to efficiently combine drone, phone, and 360 images in Reality Capture.

GCP Integration: Best practices for using GCPs to ensure proper alignment.

Alignment Issues: Tips for minimizing errors when mixing data from different devices.

Has anyone done a similar project? I’d love to hear how it went and even see some of the results if you’re willing to share! Any tips, advice, or resources would be really appreciated. Thanks!

My Gear Setup:

DJI Mini 3 Pro drone

iPhone

Reality Capture software
