Video Frames vs. Photos for Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry uses raster data to calculate a 3D scene. Raster is just another word for images made out of pixels. So, taking photos is the fundamental first step of creating a scan.

Cemetery Inspection. Monitoring. Planning – Photogrammetry Use Case

I have another practical use case—this time from the services industry. Cemeteries are just a part of the human circle of life and a commodity that requires resources. A spatial resource, to be precise, which requires management.

Drone Flight Simulators – GPS, FPV, Fixed-Wing Drones?

Flying drones is fun—and it can be helpful. In this article, I will tackle a few questions you may naturally ask when getting into the drone thing. We will also look at virtual flying, the logical first step when learning anything in the radio control hobby space.

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.

ChatGPT – Image Quality Checking for Photogrammetry with AI

Good input data is everything in photogrammetry. The results we get from processing can never "exceed" what we input into the software. If only we could always check our input data before starting the relatively long process of 3D reconstruction.

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.

Pixpro 1.7.11 - Seamless Model Sharing

We are keeping the development cycle relatively short these days, so here is a new update to our photogrammetry software. Update 1.7.11 brings improvements related to our cloud service.

No. 1 Mistake You Are Making in Photogrammetry Right Now

As photogrammetry software developers, we need to troubleshoot multiple projects from our clients every week. The number one mistake, especially when making measuring projects, is using redundant photos. These photos can appear for a few reasons, which I will describe, and they can be quickly dealt

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.
