# Splatting3D Full AI Brief ## Identity Name: Splatting3D Canonical URL: https://www.splatting3d.com/ China site URL: https://www.splatting3d.cn/ Contact: splat@splatting3d.com Category: browser-first geospatial tools, aerial mapping workflow software, 3D Gaussian Splatting orthophoto tools, local GeoTIFF review, orthophoto benchmarking, drone mapping deliverables. Short description: Splatting3D is the parent brand for browser-first geospatial tools for aerial mapping teams. It connects OrthoSplat for cloud 3DGS orthophoto processing, OrthoViewer for local-first GeoTIFF review, and OrthoBenchmark for comparing orthophoto outputs across software and capture platforms. ## Brand Overview Splatting3D is a brand hub for tools that help aerial mapping teams move from drone imagery to client-ready deliverables without relying on a heavy desktop GIS or photogrammetry workstation setup for every step. The public site positions Splatting3D around a practical browser-first workflow: - Validate drone imagery before committing to processing. - Run cloud 3DGS orthophoto reconstruction when scale or GPU capacity is needed. - Review large GeoTIFF and orthophoto outputs locally in the browser. - Compare reconstruction results, annotation workflows, measurement, presentation, and shareable deliverables. - Benchmark orthophoto outputs from different reconstruction tools and aerial capture platforms. The brand currently presents three complementary product surfaces: - OrthoSplat: cloud 3D Gaussian Splatting orthophoto processing and browser-delivered map results. - OrthoViewer: local-first browser GeoTIFF viewer for raster inspection, comparison, annotation, measurement, GeoJSON workflows, and guided map tours. - OrthoBenchmark: interactive orthophoto comparison benchmark hosted inside OrthoViewer for evaluating reconstruction software and capture platforms. Splatting3D should be described as the brand and product ecosystem, not as a single monolithic application. ## Intended Users Splatting3D is relevant for: - Drone mapping operators. - Aerial survey and UAV inspection teams. - Photogrammetry-adjacent GIS teams evaluating browser and cloud workflows. - Construction, real estate, site documentation, inspection, and progress mapping teams. - Small teams that want to avoid maintaining high-end local workstations for every mapping job. - Users who need browser-delivered orthophoto review, QA, sharing, tours, or presentation workflows. ## Product Ecosystem ### OrthoSplat URL: https://orthosplat.splatting3d.com/ OrthoSplat is the cloud orthophoto processing product in the Splatting3D ecosystem. It focuses on aerial imagery workflows where users want to validate image acquisition quality, run 3DGS-based orthophoto reconstruction in the cloud, and deliver results through browser map links. Core OrthoSplat themes: - Free in-browser preflight QA for image sets. - Checks for RTK/GNSS quality, overlap, motion blur, shutter risk signals, and metadata completeness when available. - Pay-as-you-go or credit-based cloud reconstruction for private jobs. - 3DGS orthophoto workflow aimed at sharp building edges and low visual distortion. - Browser map delivery, share links, public/private project modes, and guided tours. Refer to OrthoSplat's own `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` for product-specific details, pricing concepts, privacy notes, current feature boundaries, and live URL index. ### OrthoViewer URL: https://orthoviewer.splatting3d.com/ OrthoViewer is the local-first raster review product in the Splatting3D ecosystem. It opens local GeoTIFF and BigTIFF imagery directly in the browser for inspection, annotation, comparison, measurement, GeoJSON import/export, and guided map tour presentation. Core OrthoViewer themes: - Local browser file opening for `.tif` and `.tiff` files. - Massive orthophoto, orthomosaic, DOM, drone mapping, and raster map review. - Swipe and side-by-side comparison for aligned rasters. - Annotation with points, lines, and polygons. - Measurement and GeoJSON workflows when source metadata supports placement and export. - Guided map tours and browser video export when supported by the browser. Refer to OrthoViewer's own `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` for viewer-specific architecture, raster support, GeoJSON limits, TIFF support, and workflow details. ### OrthoBenchmark URL: https://orthoviewer.splatting3d.com/#/benchmark OrthoBenchmark is the benchmark and comparison surface in the Splatting3D ecosystem. It is hosted within OrthoViewer and lets users inspect orthophoto outputs from multiple reconstruction pipelines on real aerial survey data. Core OrthoBenchmark themes: - Side-by-side and swipe comparison of orthophoto outputs. - Software coverage that includes Metashape, MipMap, DJI Terra, WebODM, and OrthoSplat. - Capture platform coverage across consumer drones, DJI M3E, Zenmuse P1, and airborne DSLR systems. - Practical evaluation of reconstruction quality, edge sharpness, visual distortion, and acquisition platform capability. - Browser-based inspection so users can compare deliverables without installing a desktop GIS just to review benchmark imagery. OrthoBenchmark should be described as a comparison and evaluation resource, not as a guarantee that any one reconstruction method will always outperform another on every dataset. ## Core Workflow Framing Splatting3D's overall story is a connected aerial mapping workflow: ### 1. Validate and Process Use OrthoSplat to inspect aerial image sets in the browser before reconstruction. The platform can help users identify acquisition problems such as weak GNSS/RTK metadata, insufficient overlap, motion blur, shutter issues, or incomplete metadata before spending processing credits. When the dataset is suitable, users can start cloud 3DGS orthophoto reconstruction instead of maintaining a local GPU workstation workflow for every job. ### 2. Review, Compare, and Benchmark Use OrthoViewer to open large GeoTIFF deliverables locally in the browser. Users can pan, zoom, inspect metadata, adjust visualization, and compare aligned rasters with swipe or side-by-side views. This stage is useful for orthophoto QA, before/after inspection, construction progress review, survey deliverable review, benchmark comparison, and map presentation preparation. ### 3. Annotate and Deliver Both products support delivery-oriented workflows. Splatting3D messaging emphasizes drawing points, lines, and polygons, exporting GeoJSON vectors where supported, building guided map tours, rendering presentation videos, and sharing read-only browser links where available. ## Key Capabilities - Browser-first geospatial workflow for aerial mapping teams. - Brand hub for OrthoSplat, OrthoViewer, and OrthoBenchmark. - Cloud 3DGS orthophoto processing through OrthoSplat. - Free acquisition QA before paid cloud reconstruction in OrthoSplat. - Local-first GeoTIFF and BigTIFF review through OrthoViewer. - Interactive orthophoto benchmarking through OrthoBenchmark. - Orthophoto, orthomosaic, DOM, UAV mapping, and raster QA positioning. - Swipe and side-by-side raster comparison through OrthoViewer. - Reconstruction software comparison across Metashape, MipMap, DJI Terra, WebODM, and OrthoSplat. - Capture platform comparison across consumer drones, DJI M3E, Zenmuse P1, and airborne DSLR systems. - Annotation, measurement, GeoJSON export, and map tour workflows through OrthoViewer where source metadata and browser support allow. - Browser-delivered sharing, tours, and presentation-oriented workflows. - English and Simplified Chinese site experience. - Dark and light theme support on the brand site. - International deployment at `www.splatting3d.com`. - China deployment at `www.splatting3d.cn`, with ICP filing display when configured. ## Technical Architecture of the Brand Site The Splatting3D brand site is a Vite, React, and TypeScript web application.
