Photogrammetry & 3d LAser Scanning SErvices

3D Reconstruction Using 2D Images & Laser Scan Data

Get a 3D photogrammetric model with real-world visual detail and spatial accuracy.

More precise than regular photogrammetry – we combine laser scan / point cloud data with hundreds of overlapping photos. Our specialized software allows us to process and combine the data – adding natural textures and colours to a 3D mesh layer. The end result is an accurate, digital, interactive 3D reconstruction of any asset.

This advanced photogrammetry + laser scanning goes beyond your typical 3D models and is detailed enough to show

  • Actual conditions of your asset – position, measurements, levelness, etc
  • Potential problem points – deterioration, cracking, erosion, defects, etc
  • Other physical/visual details laser scan data alone wouldn’t show (e.g., ID plates, markers)

    Why Laser PHotogrammetry

    Efficiency

    Laser scanning and photogrammetry are much quicker and more efficient than manual inspections and traditional surveying

    Risk Management

    Remotely collect data on assets that are hazardous or difficult to access. No risks or limitations to accessing the virtual data once collected

    Accuracy

    With GPS positioning + images calibrated to laser scan data, you get a more precise result than just using standard photogrammetry 

    Laser photogrammetry Use Cases

    Gain virtual access to asset data – conditions, measurements, etc – without travel, scaffolding, ladders and lifts, extensive safety risks, lengthy interruptions.

    INSPECTION & MONITORING
    Accurate data for your asset maintenance planning – especially useful for remote, heavy traffic, overhead, electrical, assets

    DIGITAL RECORDS KEEPING
    Anything from GIS, 3D models, detailed AutoCAD files, to PDFs and JPEG images, etc

    DIGITAL INTERACTIVITY
    Such as AR or VR applications

    Deliverables

    We can create a range of additional deliverables from the data we collect for 3D photogrammetric models. If you need additional PDF plan sets or JPEGs, just ask and we can include those.

    Client Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I view the data?

    As point cloud data and 3D models can be resource-heavy, we offer remote data hosting, which you can access through TruView. Or, your 3D model can be loaded onto Sketchfab for you to access there.

    How much does it cost?

    The cost of our advanced laser photogrammetry really depends on the asset details

    • How large is is it?
    • Where is it?
    • Do we need a drone?
    • How quickly do you need the deliverables?
    • etc

    While the initial cost may be more than traditional methodologies, it’s a versatile dataset that can be put to use in various ways (e.g., producing other types of reports/deliverables) to save money in the long run.
