Understanding image resolution and how it affects the quality of virtual tours

Image resolution is usually determined by the number of information or details the specific image has and one of the ways it can be measured is through megapixels (MP). One megapixel contains one million pixels, which are small squares that are put together to form an image. This means that with higher pixel counts, the […]

Image resolution is usually determined by the number of information or details the specific image has and one of the ways it can be measured is through megapixels (MP). One megapixel contains one million pixels, which are small squares that are put together to form an image. This means that with higher pixel counts, the image resolution would be better as there is more information or details being captured.

For digital images, they are calculated by pixels per inch(PPI). Hence with the concept of 1MP being equivalent to 1 million pixels, a 20MP camera can produce images with 20 million PPI while a 10MP camera can produce images with 10 million PPI. The image will be sharper for 20MP camera as there are more pixels per inch as compared to the 10MP camera. 

Currently, there are many different cameras in the market that are capable of creating 3D virtual tours. Different cameras will give different levels of measurement accuracy and image quality. The Matterport Pro 2 camera is a 3D scanner that captures stunning images as well as 3D data at the same time hence its measurement accuracy is far more accurate compared to consumer 360 cameras that capture flat images and depend on artificial intelligence to artificially convert them to form the 3D model.

Matterport Pro 2 camera vs consumer 360 cameras

TUBEAR uses Matterport Pro2 Camera that has a resolution of 134MP for our 3D Virtual Tours as we want to give our clients the highest image quality possible. The image quality from the Matterport Pro 2 camera is far more superior compared to consumer 360 cameras that are only up to 34MP. You can find a side-by-side comparison of an image taken from a consumer 360 camera (34MP) vs Matterport pro 2 (134MP). 

Additionally, there is a huge difference in terms of the color contrast and the image from the Matterport Pro2 camera is far more vibrant. The higher resolution makes the virtual tour look more appealing with the vibrant colors and image quality provided which helps to bring more interest to your listing.
