SSS360

What it does

SSS360 takes the equirectangular video from a 360° camera and prepares it for photogrammetry. It runs AI segmentation (SAM) on the footage to automatically detect and mask out everything that shouldn't end up in your 3D reconstruction, like sky, power lines, rigs, vehicles and people. It then reprojects the sphere into a set of overlapping flat views and packages them so they're ready to drop straight into RealityCapture.

How it works

1. Import & pick a frame. Load the 360° video and preview any frame instantly to check framing before processing.
2. AI masking. SAM segments each equirectangular frame, masking sky, cables, the operator and other unwanted objects, with manual control over dilation, smoothing and the nadir (bottom) cover.
3. Reprojection. The spherical frame is reprojected into overlapping flat views (a configurable ring + top/bottom) so RealityCapture sees clean, undistorted images.
4. Auto-packaging. Views are batched and sized to your available RAM, with quality auto-adapted to the source resolution (up to 8K), ready for RealityCapture → 3D Gaussian Splats.

Highlights

• One-click pipeline with a clean desktop GUI, no command line.
• Automatic sky & cable removal powered by SAM segmentation.
• Smart RAM-aware packaging with adjustable overlap for solid alignment.
• Auto-quality based on resolution + a RealityCapture preset for street capture.
• Fast preview viewer with fluid zoom / pan to inspect masks at full detail.
