HERITAGE ATLAS · VISUAL LABORATORY
Explore historic architecture through real photographs. Find correspondences, align viewpoints and discover the geometry they share.

01 / PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS
Three landmarks, three curated view sets. Choose a reference and try its verified comparisons. Each photo keeps its author and license.
ZARAGOZA / ESPAÑA
Select two views and compute a new alignment in your browser. Photographs are not uploaded.
A homography approximates a planar surface. Vegetation, water, shadows and parallax can create differences. Marked regions need human review; they do not establish architectural changes.
Images resized to a maximum of 1600 px and converted to JPEG. Derived visualisations retain each photograph’s license. Quarkeon Labs did not take these photographs.
02 / STRUCTURE FROM MOTION
Each landmark has its own COLMAP reconstruction, computed only from its catalogue photographs. Switch landmarks above, orbit the cloud and choose a gallery camera to inspect the coverage.
Selecciona entre 3 y 80 vistas de un edificio, con solapamiento y sin cambios de zoom. El cálculo se ejecuta en este PC.
Select a view to orient the cloud from its estimated camera.
The initial frame uses the central 98% of sparse points so distant outliers do not obscure the architecture. Coverage corresponds to photographed surfaces; this is not a complete 360° model.
03 / ENGINEERING YOU CAN INSPECT
Wikimedia Commons gallery with individual attribution, dates, licenses and inspectable sources.
ORB and RANSAC in the browser. SIFT and MAGSAC in the Python project. Pairs with insufficient geometry are rejected.
SIFT, triangulation and bundle adjustment with COLMAP. CPU stereo with bidirectional and geometric checks, without interpolating points.
Correspondences, alignment, differences and a 3D model to explore on screen. Metrics describe this demonstration, not production accuracy.
QUARKEON LABS / APPLIED VISION
Viewpoint comparison, visual inspection, heritage documentation and 3D processing. We scope a pilot with your data and acceptance criteria.
