PFTrack & PFClean for Cultural Heritage
Preserve the Past. Document It in 3D. Restore It for the Future.
The Pixel Farm is the only company offering both photogrammetric 3D documentation (PFTrack) and professional film and video restoration (PFClean) under one roof. For heritage institutions, this means a complete workflow from physical artefact to digital archive.
3D Heritage Documentation
Photogrammetry of monuments, buildings, and archaeological sites: precise 3D models from photographs and video
Artefact digitisation from photographs, no specialised scanning hardware required
Archaeological excavation recording: combine video tracking with photogrammetry for complete spatial records
LiDAR integration for large-scale site documentation
Export to heritage-standard formats: USD, OBJ, PLY, textured meshes for GIS, databases, and 3D web viewers
Film & Archive Restoration
Professional film restoration: scratches, dust, flicker, warping, tears, and colour fading, from 8mm to 70mm IMAX.
Video restoration: dropouts, chroma issues, tape glitches from analogue formats including U-matic, Betacam, and VHS.
Non-destructive metadata workflow: original materials never modified.
Batch processing for large-scale archives with consistent quality.
Trusted by the Estonian, Slovak, and Finnish National Archives, along with major studios and broadcasters worldwide.
The Combined Heritage Workflow
Comprehensive Film & Video Restoration
Rescue deteriorating celluloid and magnetic media with PFClean. From repairing "vinegar syndrome" in 70mm masters to fixing tape glitches in VHS archives, restore your collections to 8K archival quality while maintaining a non-destructive, metadata-only workflow.
Precision 3D Documentation & Photogrammetry
Use PFTrack to transform standard photography into metrically accurate 3D models. Document everything from delicate artefacts to entire archaeological sites without expensive laser scanners. Build dense point clouds and textured meshes directly from the cameras you already own.
The Synergy of Motion and Space
Bridge the gap between film and 3D. Extract 3D camera motion from historical footage to "re-situate" lost architecture in a digital space, or use PFClean’s restoration tools to clean up textures for a more pristine 3D reconstruction.
Future-Proof, Research-Ready Deliverables
Generate high-bitrate film masters, interactive 3D models (USD/OBJ), or point clouds (PLY) for GIS mapping. Our commitment to open-standard formats ensures your digital assets remain accessible for decades of future research.
Streamlined Institutional Procurement
We’ve removed the "enterprise" price barrier. By supporting professional-grade workflows on hardware configurations under £4,000, we make it simple for museums, local archives, and universities to deploy world-class tools on a realistic budget.
Support your institution’s preservation efforts with the professional tracking and photogrammetry tools in PFTrack Studio. Ideal for collaborative archive and restoration environments.
