Reconstruction methods differ in what they need as input and what they produce: measurable geometry, renderable scenes, or a plausible shape from one photo. Start from the output you actually need.
Structure-from-motion plus multi-view stereo triangulates real geometry from many overlapping photos, producing point clouds and meshes with real-world scale (given a reference). It remains the standard for scanning, surveying, and any application where dimensions must be trusted.
NeRFs and 3D Gaussian splatting fit a scene representation that renders photoreal novel views from ordinary photo or video capture, with splatting fast enough for interactive use. They excel at walkthroughs, AR content, and digital twins for viewing; extracting clean, measurable meshes from them is still the weaker path.
Monocular depth and single-image reconstruction predict plausible geometry from one photo using learned priors. The result is a good relative structure for effects, editing, and robotics heuristics, but it is an estimate: when accuracy matters and you can capture more views, do.
The bottom line: Measurements need photogrammetry, immersive viewing favors neural rendering, and single-image methods trade accuracy for convenience when one photo is all you have.
