Monitoring and Inspection

Where do we use Photogrammetry? A list of 3D scanning use cases.

​Photogrammetry has revolutionized numerous industries by transforming real world scenes into 3D models, using only simple photographs and processing algorithms.

Roof Scan for Inspection and Solar Panel Addition – Use Case

Roof photogrammetry is one of our client base's most common use cases. Obtaining accurate measurements is essential for designing a solar panel layout, determining how many panels fit on a roof, and conducting a prior inspection.

Resolution vs. Altitude: Do 50 Megapixels Actually Matter?

We all know that megapixels are not the only defining factor of image quality, and the megapixel race is long over. However, we need to know their uses when we have two resolution options.

Dealing with Snow and High Contrast - Aerial Construction Site Scan

Aerial photogrammetry is dependent on the weather conditions, and there is no other way around it. While we can not fly our drones during extreme weather - dealing with something like a little cold or snow is not that hard.

Pixpro Waypoints - Orbitals with 3X Camera

Pixpro Waypoints service is compatible with the latest DJI drones, including Mavic 3 Pro and DJI Air 3, which have 3x cameras. In this article, we will briefly explore using the 3X lens with Pixpro waypoints for inspection and dual capture.

Surface Comparison Part 2

You can compare surfaces with a high level of precision even without accurate RTK GPS data. In the first part of this article, we create artificial GCPs from a base project to use in another project for referencing.

Overlap Between Different Perspectives

Photogrammetry can be simple and rigid or complex and adaptable. Combining different scan patterns adds complexity to the work but improves detail and coverage. We often use examples of combined flights, of which the orbital + nadir grid is a classic. They provide great 3D structure while being easy

Commercial Roof Scan and Inspection

This blog post shares a real-world use case of a massive roof inspection job. The goal was to get a general scan of a commercial building roof for initial inspection and overview.

Comparing Surfaces in Pixpro Part 1 - Creating Custom GCPs

Comparing surfaces from photogrammetric scans is a ubiquitous workflow in some industries. Our Pixpro photogrammetry software allows us to compare a few surfaces in a uniquely easily accessible manner.
