RTAB vs Agerpoint Capture

RTAB-Map (Real-Time Appearance-Based Mapping) is an Open Source LiDAR / RGB-D / Stereo Graph-Based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) approach based on an online incremental appearance-based loop closure detector. The loop closure detector uses a bag-of-words approach to determinate how likely a new image comes from a previous location or a new location. When a loop closure hypothesis is accepted, a new constraint is added to the map's graph, then a graph optimizer minimizes the errors in the map in real-time. An optional memory management approach can be used to limit the number of locations used for loop closure detection and graph optimization, so that real-time constraints on large-scale environnements are always respected. ARKit's visual inertial odometry (VIO) is used as the SLAM front-end for RTAB-Map (the SLAM back-end). * Note that unlike other scanning apps that optimize the map only after mapping, with RTAB-Map you get loop closure detection and map optimization online so you can have a live feedback to know when you have enough constraints in the map for good global optimization before stopping the scan. *** 3D reconstruction available only with LiDAR sensor. Features: * Online 3D scanning/mapping of the environment. * Online loop closure detection and map correction. * Save in DB format (RTAB-Map desktop and rtabmap_ros format). * Export in PLY, LAS or OBJ. * Multi-session mapping (save and continue later). * Use Apriltags to help finding loop closures in textureless environments. * Mixed AR/VR First-Person in visualization mode. * Raw ARKit data recording (up to 60 Hz!), useful to record long sessions without comprising battery life.

Bring your field observations together with Agerpoint Capture. Use Agerpoint Fieldwork to record location-tagged Field Notes and follow guided Workflows, or capture 3D scans of crops, trees, and plants from your iPhone or iPad. Now, connect compatible Meta AI Glasses to capture hands-free Field Notes while you work. FIELD NOTES THAT KEEP UP WITH YOU Document what you see with text, photos, video, and voice notes. Keep observations organized with location and time information for field scouting, inspections, and everyday operations. HANDS-FREE CAPTURE WITH AI GLASSES Record voice observations through compatible Meta AI Glasses and transcribe them into Field Notes in Agerpoint Capture. Document field conditions while keeping your hands available for the task at hand. GUIDED FIELDWORK Follow step-by-step Workflows to collect consistent observations across your team. Use repeatable checklists for crop health assessments, inspections, and routine field tasks. CAPTURE IN THE FIELD Collect field observations offline and upload when connectivity is available. Keep documenting your work in remote fields, orchards, greenhouses, and forests. CREATE DIGITAL TWINS Capture 3D scans of individual plants and planted areas using supported devices. Camera, GPS, and LiDAR where available help record visual and spatial data, while augmented reality feedback guides your capture. Inspect captures and 3D models on your device. CONNECT TO AGERPOINT CLOUD Upload captures to Agerpoint Cloud for deeper modeling, measurements, and AI-powered analysis. Combine mobile captures with drone, satellite, and other sensor data to build a more complete view of your crops and natural assets. Cloud uploads require an Agerpoint account subscription and Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Meta AI Glasses features require compatible glasses and setup. Feature availability depends on device capabilities and account access; connected services may require internet access. Use Agerpoint Capture only in safe, authorized environments. Stay aware of your surroundings while capturing data.
