Drone-Generated 3D Models Improve Collaboration, Speed Up Design Cycle by 70% For this calf barn, Albert took 100 images at a height of 100 meters. He processed the images in DroneDeploy to create a high-resolution orthomosaic map and 3D model. Thanks to DroneDeploy’s built-in measurement tools, initial rooftop measurements can now be taken with the click […]
Mobile phones have been used much more often nowadays. They became constant companions of many people. The capabilities of a modern smartphone make it an absolutely indispensable assistant in a variety of situations. Many people already can not even presume how to live at least one day without their smartphone. Now it is a mini […]
Business is booming for iSolara, an Ottawa-based solar power design and installation company. Thanks to a government-sponsored tariff program, businesses, especially energy heavy farms in rural Ontario, are reaping the benefits of solar roof panels. But the design proposal process can take weeks to complete. iSolara is using 3D mapping software to streamline their proposal process, […]
Devops has become a buzzword often used by IT companies. You can find some devops company and check what they can do to better understand the devops methodology. However, they do not always correspond to the principles of this method for a long time. Devops was created to completely change the inconvenient process of developing […]
In terms of creating quality data for scientific research, the team’s GIS expert will import the 3D point cloud from DroneDeploy into ArcGIS and analyze the site’s location compared to the expected progression of lava and mudslides after a major volcanic eruption. They have also equipped their DJI Inspire with infrared and multi-spectral sensors. Grass […]
Although it seems impossible to anyone immersed in the world of UAVs, the go-to method that aerial archaeologists use to document a site like this is kites. As in: program a camera to automatically take pictures, strap it to an ordinary beach-flying kite and let it loose. Sometimes they use helium balloons or helikites, but […]
Virtual design and construction teams are quickly discovering the value that drone mapping brings to all stages of a construction project, including initial site survey and design, volume and elevation measurements and comparisons, and quality assurance. In a fraction of the time it takes to conduct a ground-based survey, a drone can automatically fly and […]
The landscape of Ecuador is littered with archaeological sites, important evidence of the country’s rich, complex history that spans from Paleoindian times all the way through to the Spanish conquest of the Incas. But a lack of resources means that there is still no accurate record of many of these sites. Documenting archeological sites through […]
Work Done and done! Both series have been completed and received back from the printers – even with enough time for me to start picking apart the design. Nevermind.
Work I’ve found myself struggling to come to terms with the modelling side of Maya this week. It really seems like we’ve entered a completely new world of CG. Obviously we could have spent a lot more time learning these concepts and in fact I probably would have preferred the semester to be weighted more […]
