3D Photogrammetric Model

3D photogrammetric modelling is a technique that uses photographs to create three-dimensional models of objects, environments, or scenes.

This process involves capturing multiple images from different angles and using specialised software to triangulate the data points from the photographs to construct a 3D model.

3D photogrammetric modelling is a versatile tool that is invaluable in any field that requires accurate, detailed, and realistic representations of physical objects or environments.

Here are some key applications and common uses of 3D photogrammetric modelling ...

Property and Development

Planning And Development

Using high-resolution aerial images to create accurate 3D models of sites. This helps in planning and surveying, providing detailed topographic data and visual insights that are crucial for site analysis and design. Developers can monitor construction progress in real-time, assess property conditions, and identify potential issues early, saving time and reducing costs.

Surveying and Site Analysis

Using digital twins of buildings and sites to visualise the whole site, photogrammetry provides accurate measurements, topographical data, and comprehensive visual insights, making it ideal for construction planning, land assessment, and environmental monitoring.

Construction And Asset Management

Construction

Using photogrammetry to produce accurate site data, construction teams can make informed decisions, monitor progress, improve safety, and enhance project planning whilst reducing errors and costs.

Asset Management

Photogrammetry enables precise mapping, monitoring, and analysis of infrastructure, properties, and natural resources. Professionals can then make informed decisions, optimise maintenance schedules, and enhance overall asset value.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Integrating photogrammetric data into BIM for more accurate and detailed models.

Environmental and Estate Management

Topographic Mapping

Creating detailed maps of terrains and landscapes for environmental, estate and land management.

Forestry

3D photogrammetry models of forests, are used to assess tree health, measure tree height and density, and detect changes in forest cover over time. The models help in planning sustainable logging activities, monitoring forest growth and regeneration, and identifying areas affected by disease or pests.

Disaster Management

Documenting and analysing areas affected by natural disasters for recovery planning.

Heritage and Historical Buildings

Historical Building Restoration

Documenting and planning the restoration of historical buildings.

Documentation and Preservation

Creating accurate 3D models of historical sites, artifacts, and monuments for documentation and preservation purposes.

Virtual Restoration

Reconstructing damaged or incomplete artifacts and structures digitally.

Education and Research

Providing detailed and accurate 3D models for educational purposes and research.

Engineering and Manufacturing

Quality Control

Inspecting and verifying the dimensions and shapes of manufactured parts.

Reverse Engineering

Creating models of existing parts for redesign or replication.

Film, Animation, and Video Games

Set and Character Design

Creating realistic 3D models of environments and characters.

Special Effects

Integrating 3D models into live-action footage for visual effects.

Forensics and Crime Scene Investigation

Accident Reconstruction

Recreating accident scenes for analysis in legal contexts.

Crime Scene Documentation

Capturing detailed 3D models of crime scenes for investigation and courtroom presentations.

Aerial Surveys and Topographic Mapping

PHOTOGRAMMETRY

2D Orthomosaic Model

A top-down interactive model constructed from multiple high-resolution photographs.

3D Photogrammetric Model

Entire targeted landscapes, buildings, infrastructure and features in a high resolution interactive 3D model

LiDAR

A LiDAR map is useful for industries such as forestry, agriculture/landscaping and complex infrastructure.

LiDAR produces a 3D point cloud and is very effective for mapping densely vegetated areas, collecting data in low-light environments and helping to detect small features, such as wires and cabling.

Multispectral

Enhanced Environmental Monitoring. Highly accurate and up-to-date information about target ecosystems to make informed decisions on plant health, water management, disease, species identification.
