  title: Autodesk Reality Capture Photoscenes API
  description: The Reality Capture API uses photogrammetry to generate high-resolution 3D meshes, point clouds, and orthophotos from photographs. It leverages cloud computing for structure-from-motion and multi-view-geometry algorithms, producing output compatible with ReCap, Civil 3D, InfraWorks, and other Autodesk products.
