Abstract
Disclosed is a system and associated methods for generating a point-accurate three-dimensional (“3D”) model of a scene with point-accurate color information from a non-cosited capture of the scene. The system may define a first model based on positional measurements obtained from a first device. The system may capture images of the scene with a different set of devices, and may generate a second model from a photogrammetry modeling of the images. The system may align the models in order to determine positioning of the set of devices relative to the first model, and may select a particular device that captures descriptive characteristics from a position in the scene that is represented by the positional elements of a particular data point. The system may define non-positional elements of the particular data point based on the descriptive characteristics captured by the particular device.
