While working in 3D-visualization software such as Lumion, features such as OpenStreetMap (OSM)and satellite ground planes can provide some context for your design. They are suitable options for quickly building urban or rural environments relevant to your project’s location, but they’re also limited. For instance, OSM only provides rough building shapes, rendered white, and the satellite maps… Continue Reading How to Use a Drone to Create a Detailed 3D Context Model

Virtual Surveyor has announced the sixth version of its drone-based surveying software suite, touting significant workflow and interface enhancements. Designed for processing UAV-derived imagery, the Virtual Surveyor software suite is primarily aimed at stitching together orthophotos and digital terrain models to create interactive 3D models of a surveyed area. Touting themselves as bridging the gap between… Continue Reading Virtual Surveyor 6 streamlines workflow, UI

3D scanning aims to capture the geometry of the 3D world. However, most existing solutions require a complicated setup, are often hard to use and might not always work outdoors. Marc Pollefeys, professor at the Institute for Visual Computing and his group found a way to develop a software that works with existing smartphone technology… Continue Reading Your Smartphone As A 3D Scanner
