3D Drone Scans

Real-world objects and scenes captured by photogrammetry.

















Photogrammetry

Capturing real-world scenes as 3D models

We create digital 3D models of objects such as buildings, commercial lots and natural landscapes using the technical process of photogrammetry.  To do this, we program our drone to automatically follow a survey path above and around the target area while taking hundreds of overlapping images. Back at the office, we use advanced software to extract a super-detailed 3D model with real-world photo textures.
