001 - Overview

What is Photogrammetry?

Understanding the process of Photogrammetry is essential for achieving the right outcome for your project.

Photogrammetry is a technique by which multiple images of a scene, such as a building or landscape, are ‘tied’ together by identifying common points in the overlapping areas of several images.

How is the data collected?

By knowing the internal specifications of the lens and camera used to collect images, along with ultra-precise geolocation technology such as RTK, the distances of several images of the same object taken from different locations can be triangulated to a point on that object.

How is the data processed?

Using this information, photogrammetry processing software can then calculate and recreate this information digitally, generating highly accurate, photorealistic digital 3D representations of landscapes or buildings.

Why use Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry facilitates the design and analysis of buildings and infrastructure, enabling precise measurements and visualisations for project planning and monitoring, while it is also invaluable in creating topographic maps and 3D terrain models.

What UAV imaging hardware is required?

With wide range of industry leading imaging technologies, several factors are important when considering the right hardware for producing an accurate photogrammetric model.

UAV

Determining the correct un-manned aerial vehicle (UAV) to use for each project is a crucial step, and will be influenced by operational tasks and constraints.

Camera

Highly specialised cameras are arguably the most important factor in ensuring that the photogrammetric mapping and modelling outputs attain a high-quality outcome.

Accessories

RTK and PPK enable cm-accurate geolocation to ensure survey-grade outputs, and supplemented with GNSS mobile base stations for Ground Control Points (GCPs).
