Baha'i Temple near Chicago, USA

3D Model

This is the Baha’i House of Worship and gardens in Wilmette, IL outside of Chicago. It is the only Baha’i temple in the USA. See https://www.bahai.us/bahai-temple/

From Wikipedia… In 1978, the House of Worship was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building has become a popular destination for tourists, and the Illinois Office of Tourism has named it one of the “Seven Wonders of Illinois”. In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, the Baha’i House of Worship was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places.

This is one of my first attempts at photogrammetry. Generated from about 175 snapshots taken from a 4K drone video using COLMAP and openMVS and trimmed in MeshLab. The video was not taken with the intention of creating a photogrammetry model - so unfortunately lot of detail has been lost in the reconstruction. Still, it reproduced most of the basic elements in the design of the building and the gardens.
