Pointcloud

Ok, so reading more into this.  I downloaded photosynth for the desktop.  Seems this format is known as (V1) which can create pointclouds.  Anything mobile doing V2 will work except panoramas (because it's flat).

So after downloading the "sythexplorer", I was trying to track down examples with point clouds, came across this page:

I specifically chose this one since it's architecture I'm interested in:

You can now see what photos make it up:












No idea what sort of point cloud data that will export, but I would imagine with a lot of photos you'd get clean data.  Now my next challenge is figuring out what I can do with this exported data once I do get a good synthed photo (VRML, PLY, OBJ, X3D).

Of course it would be ideal if there were a way to crop the photosynth map and export the data.  It appears galaxy world is already covered:
