3D Printing and Photogrammetry

3D printing and photogrammetry are becoming two tightly integrated disciplines. The connection is clear – photogrammetry captures 3D data, and 3D printing allows turning it into something physical.

Winter Photogrammetry

Winter weather hits unexpectedly every year at about the same time. Every professional working outside has to adapt and overcome winter conditions. It includes photogrammetry professionals doing aerial drone work, heavily impacted by weather.

GCP Workflow in Pixpro

Ground control points – are an essential part of photogrammetry. They provide the best possible absolute accuracy compared to the real world. Because ground control points are part of the scene itself – they are superior to any photo metadata information.

Thermal Photogrammetry Basics

Thermal images reveal what the human eye cannot see. The camera sees in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, clearly allowing it to visualize heat emanating from any object or surface.

Roof Scanning With Photogrammetry

3D roof scanning for inspection and solar panel installation is one of the most common and accessible use cases for photogrammetry. If you are working in this area and looking to take advantage of photogrammetric workflows – this article is for you.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic

DJI has released yet another addition to the Mavic 3 Line – Mavic 3 Classic. It is a cheaper version of the consumer Mavic 3 with a single omission – the telephoto camera. We tested the drone to inspect if there were any other differences with the mentioned and if it is still as good.

Cross Polarization Photogrammetry

In the previous post, we looked at the easiest way of scanning a small object with the help of photogrammetry. It involved going outside, using natural light, and doing orbital scans. A more complex but professional way is to set up a home/studio scanning setup and utilize cross polarization.

3D Asset Creation With Photogrammetry

3D asset creation with the help of photogrammetry has become the bread and butter of the VFX and game industries. In many cases, photogrammetric 3D scanning can be quicker and more efficient than creating a 3D model from scratch.

DJI Mavic 3T Camera Tested

Mavic 3T is a compact enterprise drone from DJI which contains a thermal imager. We have procured one to test out its image quality and capabilities.
