Chinese Qilin statue
This bronze statue model shows just how quick and easy capturing complex, shiny relics can be. Despite its reflective gold-plated surface, the 20th century replica of a Qilin – a mythical creature said to appear in times of prosperity – was digitized at high-speed in incredible detail.
Zoom in and see for yourself. Each individual ‘spike’ on the creature’s mane is captured with extremely high fidelity. Scroll down further and see how its narrow tendrils (which could easily be lost in the process) are faithfully recreated, alongside its individual ribs and scaly legs.
Captured in less than two minutes by an everyday smartphone, this model of a historic beast perfectly showcases the capabilities of AI Photogrammetry’s object reconstruction algorithm. No detail has been lost, the spiritual symbol found originally in the Imperial Garden of China’s famous Forbidden City, has lost none of its charm, character, or intrigue in digital form.
