Photogrammetry With DJI Mavic 3 - Waypoints

We got access to waypoints with the most recent software update to the DJI Mavic 3. Waypoints are an automated and repeatable flight type that uses predefined points on the map. We can see the similarities between waypoints and automated grid flights in enterprise drones.

Best Lens Focal Length For Photogrammetry

Lens focal length is a fundamental concept in photography that determines the field of view, magnification, and depth of field of a lens. It is a critical parameter that affects the visual appearance of images.

Relative vs. Absolute Accuracy in Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry can be as accurate as anything, but it is only as good as your input data. Input data also determines the absolute and relative accuracy of your project.

Macro Photogrammetry - Combining Multiple Techniques

Macro photogrammetry requires combining focus stacking, cross-polarization, and 3D image capture methods to scan small objects successfully. It is the most time-consuming and laborious type of photogrammetric 3D scanning.

Focus Stacking for Photogrammetry

Focus stacking is a technique that involves taking a lot of photos and combining them to create an image that does not contain a narrow focus zone. It is bread and butter for macro photographers because close-up photography deals with the razor-thin depth of fields. The thin depth of field results f

Photogrammetry Calculator – GSD, Flight Speed and More

Using our experience in aerial photogrammetry and client support, we created the Pixpro Photogrammetry Calculator. It should help to study and execute automatic and manual photogrammetry flights. With these calculations, you will be more prepared for the upcoming flight, knowing what quality and tim

Manual Photogrammetry – Combining Different Flights

The orbital scan is the most efficient aerial manual photogrammetry flight type for relatively small objects. But if your subject falls out of the category of being relatively small, what to do then? Combining multiple types of flights can often be the answer. In this article, we will scan a larger

Smartphone Photogrammetry for Stockpile Scanning

Photogrammetry is accessible to everyone. Nowadays, we carry a device capable of taking decent photos every day, and you only need that to create a 3D model of your own. But what about professional applications? Can you use your phone to take pictures of a stockpile and measure it with applicable ac

Pixpro and PVsol

We utilize photogrammetric 3D data for various industry-specific use cases. One of those use cases is building scans needed for accurate and interactive solar panel visualization and simulation. PVSOL is a powerful software that can provide these things for PV industry professionals, but it needs da
