From the ContextCapture Master user interface, one operator (in some cases, there may be several operators working in parallel) define input data and processing settings, and submits the corresponding 3D reconstruction task to the job queue. One or several ContextCapture engines, when available, process the different elementary jobs, and store the results at the location defined by the operator in the ContextCapture Master user interface. From this interface, the operator can also directly monitor the status and progress of these jobs (Learn more about Job Monitoring. After the jobs are completed, the output 3D model is ready.

Retouching

In most cases, the automatically generated 3D model can be used as is. But for some specific applications, an operator may prefer to fix the occasional geometric defects of the automatically generated 3D model in some third-party software, input this retouched 3D geometry in the ContextCapture Master user interface, and submit a novel 3D reconstruction task. In this case, the output 3D model is updated accordingly by automatically mapping texture to the retouched 3D geometry.
