3D Model Export from Pixpro to Sketchfab

Sketchfab is one of the most popular platforms for sharing your 3D models and 3D scenes made with photogrammetry. In some cases, users might want to share 3D models straight from the photogrammetry software.

Common Photogrammetry Problem – the Bowl Effect

A bowl or bowing effect is common photogrammetry problem that usually occurs in an aerial photogrammetry scan when the entire reconstruction bows upwards or downwards. It eliminates any possibility of having accurate measurements and makes the 3D scene unrepresentative of the real world.

Megapixels and Image Quality – What Really Matters?

Megapixels – often a headline of any imaging device specifications. Phones, drones, and all kinds of cameras list the megapixel count front and center. How significant is the amount of megapixels in an imaging device? Where is the line between helpful information and marketing?

DJI Mini 3 Pro for Photogrammetry – Tool or Toy?

DJI Mini 3 Pro – the latest compact DJI drone equipped with a capable camera. We purchased the drone with our money to evaluate using it for photogrammetry, just like we did with the Mavic 3. This article will not be a review, but an overview, emphasizing photogrammetry.

Drone Duty –  a Flight Planner for Photogrammetry

During years of photogrammetric software development, the Pixpro team faced challenges acquiring and processing photographs made for photogrammetry purposes.

Measuring With Photogrammetry – Pixpro Software Advantage

Measuring with photogrammetry can be helpful in many industries and professions. Surveying, inspection, mapping, construction, and other fields require measurements for various goals.

Measuring Roofs with Photogrammetry

For solar panel experts, measuring roofs and modeling photovoltaic power plants are daily tasks that can involve dangerous procedures. But with the help of drones and photogrammetry, the efficiency and safety of many methods can be improved.

Referencing in Photogrammetry – Important Basics

Referencing in photogrammetry – is a set of actions in the field and post-processing that allows to scale, orientate and place a photogrammetry project correctly. A photogrammetry project with referencing is in the correct position in relation to the real world, has a scale, and can be measured.

Glossary

In our blog and software help we often use terminology that might not be clear for everyone. Thus we decided to create our own glossary of most common terms used in the context of photogrammetry.
