CHCNAV combines photogrammetry and native 3D Gaussian Splatting in CoMeta

CHC Navigation launched CoMeta, desktop software that can turn UAV imagery and positioning/orientation data into orthomosaics, DSMs, textured meshes and native 3D Gaussian Splatting models in one project.

Survey-grade outputs and photorealistic visualization are usually treated as separate pipelines. CoMeta is explicitly trying to keep both in one processing environment.

CHCNAV claims projects above 100,000 images and distributed processing across 15 or more nodes. Treat its speed and retouching claims as vendor benchmarks until independently reproduced on comparable hardware and datasets.
