Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry

MAPP3D’s photogrammetry services offer a cutting-edge solution for visualizing, planning, and analyzing your projects. By capturing and stitching images into a digital model, we provide accurate as-built site details and construction progress documentation swiftly and precisely.

What is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry uses photos to gather measurements, creating detailed drawings, maps, and models. This process involves triangulation, where intersecting lines in space determine precise 3D coordinates. Cameras or LiDAR sensors on tripods, drones, or cranes capture high-resolution 360° views, forming comprehensive point clouds.

Applications and Benefits

MAPP3D’s photogrammetry creates digital twins, virtual tours, floorplans, 2D CAD views, 3D models, and digital terrain models. Our data enables precise spatial measurements, aiding in project planning, execution, and maintenance. Photogrammetry offers a permanent record of site conditions, quick data collection, accurate virtual models, and minimal disruption. It eliminates the need for site revisits, saves time, and boosts project efficiency.

Our Services

Virtual Walkthrough Tours: Experience real-time conditions and measurements with 3D photogrammetry. MAPP3D’s immersive virtual tours let you remotely navigate your site, streamline communications, and make informed decisions without physical presence.

Floor Plans

Our team converts real-time photogrammetry into accurate floor plans for planning, design, and risk mitigation. Use these plans to identify hazards, develop emergency procedures, and train personnel.

Progressive Capture

Document construction progress from start to finish. MAPP3D captures concrete reinforcement locations, MEP installation progress, and key milestones, ensuring accurate timelines and preventing project clashes.

Point Cloud and 3D BIM Models

We deliver high-density point clouds and detailed 3D BIM models, documenting geometry, materials, and spatial relationships. This information aids in project material estimation, cost management, and facility operations.

Emergency Planning and Response

Prepare for emergencies with a 3D walkthrough, offering realistic response guides and virtual tours. Our floorplan service provides accurate floorplans for escape routes and emergency plans, enhancing safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our LiDAR system collects millions of laser points per second, including those that reach the ground beneath tree canopy or brush.

 

With proper ground control, our data routinely achieves sub-inch vertical accuracy.

We provide outputs in standard formats like LAS, TIFF, SHP, DXF, DWG, RVT and more, depending on your needs.

For legal boundaries or elevation certificates, yes. But for design, planning, and topographic understanding, our LiDAR is often faster and more cost-effective.

Yes. We can capture and compare data over time to track grading progress, erosion, vegetation changes, and more.
