Photogrammetric Analysis
Laser scanning has long been thought of as the only tool for generating point cloud data used to capture accident or inspection scene geometry but that is no longer the case. Photogrammetric Analysis can generate the same data using photographs which are faster and easier to take in most cases. Solution Engineering Group uses sophisticated software and camera techniques to generate measurable data from photographs. A single, trained technician can document an entire site by taking multiple photos and a few baseline dimensions. Those photos can then be combined to create measured points by manually selecting the desired objects to dimension or by creating an point cloud which maps the entire site or object photographed. The point cloud can be used to derive measurements of objects in the photos or to create accurate CAD drawings with multiple uses.
