What is the current state of acceptance of mobile mapping, and what are its most common applications? A worldwide survey commissioned by NavVis, and supported by 'GIM International' plus three other...

Data visualization is inherent to humans and continuously evolves, driven by innovation. How is GIS playing a role in this? The term 'data visualization' has come into popular usage relatively...

For consistent and precise digital GIS and photogrammetry workflows, raw data must first be converted into integrable and thus valuable information components that meet the requirements of the respective application...

A recent project has celebrated 100 years of geodetic and photogrammetric innovation by 3D-digitizing an iconic WILD T2 theodolite from the 1927 series. An app has also been developed for...

A new integration of Emesent’s Hovermap UAV-Lidar solution and PointCab’s 3D data visualization software is set to save users time and improve their outputs, according to both partners. Hovermap, Emesent’s...

Construction sites and, especially, demolition sites are often challenging environments for surveyors. Nevertheless, effective project management and financial control depend on accurate and timely information about the volumes of materials...

On social media, the average post receives only a few seconds of attention. At trade shows, first impressions determine whether attendees visit a booth. The first moments also set the...

This study in Malaysia explores the use of sensor-acquired 3D point clouds as the basis for high-quality visualizations for the smart city subsurface. 3D city models are used as the...

Hi-Target has now developed the new 9-axis IMU RTK V200 to make an even stronger contribution to land survey. In line with the rapid advances in electronics technology and manufacturing capabilities, GNSS receivers for land survey are evolving to be smaller and lighter, with new functionalities. Hi-Target, a leading...

The mission: capturing 21 quarries in 60 days. Squeezed into that timeframe were planning and performing the UAV photogrammetry flights, editing the RAW images, processing the data, extracting the topography using Virtual Surveyor, and production of the orthophotos, Digital Surface Model (DSM), Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and contour maps for each site. The main client, a government institute, needed highly precise and reliable 3D models and maps fast, as well as data their engineers could work with in a CAD environment. “There was a lot of pressure because of the short timeline”, said Nuno Santos, owner and CEO of Aerisurvey, a Mangualde, Portugal-based company specialized in high-precision UAV surveying. Mapping 21 Quarries in 60 Days The mission was to capture 21 quarries in 60 days. Squeezed into that timeframe were planning and performing the UAV photogrammetry flights, editing the...
