Can SmartData host Gaussian Splats now?
SmartData supports Gaussian Splat hosted-view packages. Processing from raw imagery is still in development.
Host and prepare Gaussian Splat views for immersive 3D review
SmartData supports Gaussian Splat package shapes today and is building the processing path that turns drone imagery into cleaner splat views for high-fidelity asset context.

Preview
Best-fit audience
Asset teams needing immersive visual context
Host supported, viewer-ready Gaussian Splat packages, or discuss the processing preview for creating immersive 3D views from imagery.
A photorealistic 3D view layer for complex assets.
Gaussian Splatting works as premium visual context, not a survey-grade measurement replacement.
Pair splats with 3D Tiles, point clouds, orthos, inspection imagery, and reports.
What this unlocks
Connect source data, SmartData processing, hosted views, and review outputs so operational teams can move from capture to decisions with less file handling.
BYO Gaussian Splat hosted-view packages
Defined SmartData gaussiansplat-view package format
Viewer packages configured through model.json
Processing development with COLMAP, Nerfstudio/Splatfacto, and splat filtering
QA reports for visual fidelity and package evaluation
Planned integration with the photogrammetry engine
Workflow story
1
Package a supported splat output with model.json and referenced assets.
2
Use BYO hosting for viewer-ready splat packages today.
3
For processing previews, camera solving and splat training are completed through a scoped workflow.
4
Filter and QA the splat before packaging it for SmartData.
5
Publish the view for stakeholder review, comparison, and handoff.
Commercial use cases
- A photorealistic 3D view layer for complex assets.
- Gaussian Splatting works as premium visual context, not a survey-grade measurement replacement.
- Pair splats with 3D Tiles, point clouds, orthos, inspection imagery, and reports.
Delivery notes
- For hosting, supply a supported, viewer-ready Gaussian Splat package.
- Creating a Gaussian Splat from raw images requires additional processing, which is in development.
- Gaussian Splats provide visual context; survey-grade measurements require an appropriate georeferenced source workflow.

Common questions
Straight answers about inputs, availability, outputs, and where human review still matters.
Are splats survey-grade?
They provide immersive visual context. A splat alone is not a survey-grade measurement product; measurements require an appropriate georeferenced source workflow.
What will reviewers see?
Where available, reviewers can receive an immersive splat view with related dataset context such as 3D Tiles, point clouds, quality reports, or delivery status.
