Photogrammetry from 360 cameras
Agisoft PhotoScan is one of the most common tools used, but you will need the professional version to work with panos.
These do not support 360 cameras:
– Autodesk Recap
– Reality Capture

CloudCompare – point cloud editor for photogrammetry
CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud (and triangular mesh) processing software. It has been originally designed to perform comparison between two dense 3D points clouds (such as the ones acquired with a laser scanner) or between a point cloud and a triangular mesh. It relies on a specific octree structure dedicated to this task.
Afterwards, it has been extended to a more generic point cloud processing software, including many advanced algorithms (registration, resampling, color/normal/scalar fields handling, statistics computation, sensor management, interactive or automatic segmentation, display enhancement, etc.).

Spatial Media Metadata Injector – for 360 videos
The Spatial Media Metadata Injector adds metadata to a video file indicating that the file contains 360 video. Use the metadata injector to prepare 360 videos for upload to YouTube.
github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/tag/v2.1
The Windows release requires a 64-bit version of Windows. If you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows, you can still run the metadata injector from the Python source code as follows:
- Install Python.
- Download and extract the metadata injector source code.
- From the “spatialmedia” directory in Windows Explorer, double click on “gui”. Alternatively, from the command prompt, change to the “spatialmedia” directory, and run “python gui.py”.

AI and the Law – Copyright Traps for Large Language Models – This new tool can tell you whether AI has stolen your work
https://github.com/computationalprivacy/copyright-traps
Copyright traps (see Meeus et al. (ICML 2024)) are unique, synthetically generated sequences who have been included into the training dataset of CroissantLLM. This dataset allows for the evaluation of Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) using CroissantLLM as target model, where the goal is to infer whether a certain trap sequence was either included in or excluded from the training data.
This dataset contains non-member (
label=0
) and member (label=1
) trap sequences, which have been generated using this code and by sampling text from LLaMA-2 7B while controlling for sequence length and perplexity. The dataset contains splits according toseq_len_{XX}_n_rep_{YY}
where sequences ofXX={25,50,100}
tokens are considered andYY={10, 100, 1000}
number of repetitions for member sequences. Each dataset also contains the ‘perplexity bucket’ for each trap sequence, where the original paper showed that higher perplexity sequences tend to be more vulnerable.Note that for a fixed sequence length, and across various number of repetitions, each split contains the same set of non-member sequences (
n_rep=0
). Also additional non-members generated in exactly the same way are provided here, which might be required for some MIA methodologies making additional assumptions for the attacker.
