Tutorial: Interior Mapping (Cell Phone)

Introduction

Mapping interiors with a cell phone can be challenging, but with the right techniques and settings, you can create accurate and detailed models. In this tutorial, we'll set you up for success through the best practices for interior mapping using your camera app to record cell phone video.

Before You Record

Use the following settings for your phone to ensure the best 3D model

  1. Record 1080p 60fps in portrait mode. If you have wide angle lens (0.5x), that is helpful as well.
  2. Point your phone slightly downwards, so you capture more of the floor than the ceiling. If you get too much ceiling, your model will be upside down.
  3. Tap and hold the screen to enable auto exposure lock.
  4. Record vertically in portrait mode while moving slowly and smoothly.
  5. Hug the edges of the wall and walk forward, recording the opposite wall.
  6. Finish recording at your starting point.
