Photogrammetry

Speak to our team

Photogrammetry is a transformative technique within digital mapping and modeling, offering exceptional precision and versatility. By converting standard photographs into accurate, high resolution 3D models, we add a new dimension to archaeological and heritage visualisation.​

​

Photogrammetry is particularly effective at capturing high levels of detail, producing reliable spatial data and imagery for projects ranging from expansive sites to intricate structures. The resulting precise measurements and detailed representations significantly enhance both the visualisation and analytical understanding of complex sites.

​

​Non-Intrusive Examination

By utilising photographic data, photogrammetry removes the need for intrusive physical intervention. This non-intrusive approach is especially valuable where site preservation is a priority or where access is restricted.  Photogrammetry data and the derived models can be archived and re-used, providing a long-term digital record for site monitoring, future analysis and ongoing research.  This ensures enduring documentation that supports effective site management.

​

Integration with Laser Scans

Photogrammetry’s data can be seamlessly integrated with 3D laser scanning results. By using shared, measured control points, both data dets can be combined to produce composite models that enhance overall accuracy and significantly increase the level of detail within the final representation.

​

Meticulous Detailing

The layering of high-resolution imagery enables photogrammetry to capture finite details of structures and sites. This makes it a preferred technique for projects involving historic or listed buildings, where preserving and documenting intricate architectural features is essential, either externally or internally.

​

Preserving Historic Structures

Photogrammetry’s ability to capture fine details, such as ornate architectural elements, material interfaces and subtle surface textures, supports the preservation, restoration, and long-term documentation of historic structures.  As a result, it is an invaluable tool for architectural conservation projects efforts and heritage-focused research.
