How does it work?
High resolution digital photography of a subject is captured from multiple perspectives. Unlike aerial photogrammetry which uses a stereo pair of photos to duplicate human vision, our process employs a multi-image convergent photogrammetric solution. The more images of the same feature viewed from different perspectives that can be included in the solution, the more accurately that feature can be measured. Adding measured dimensions to the model gives the model a real world scale. By adding known coordinate values to the model, it can be placed geographically, as well.

As points, lines and surfaces are measured photogrammetrically, an accurate 3D model of the subject can be built. Measurements can be extracted from the model, or the entire model, including imagery of the surfaces, can be exported to CAD software for study or inclusion in larger projects.
