PHOTOGRAMMETRY /

DIGITAL TWINS

Virtually Inspect Assets

Photogrammetry is a 3D model created from still images to create a textured mesh. The use of drones has allowed for creation of these meshes in previously awkward and inaccessible spaces

Leveraging a fusion of High-Resolution 3D models and detailed inspection imagery, Vertex Air has been providing advanced digital inspection capabilities. By seamlessly integrating these data sources, we enable precise, remote asset analysis for our clients.

Defects and annotations are accurately positioned within the 3D environment, providing a comprehensive and spatially referenced understanding of asset condition. Accurate Measurements can also be plotted on to our models. This approach facilitates enhanced collaboration, improved defect tracking, and streamlined maintenance planning, ultimately leading to more efficient asset management.

Accuracy & Precision

Equipped with advanced sensors and GPS technology, our drones capture highly accurate data with precision down to centimetres, ensuring reliable measurements for your projects. To enhance this accuracy further, we utilize cutting-edge RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) enabled drones. This technology allows us to achieve global accuracy of around 20mm in real-time by receiving corrections from ground-based stations.

In addition to RTK, we employ GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) base stations. These fixed, highly accurate reference points on the ground provide an independent coordinate system for our surveys, ensuring our models are consistently accurate across your project site. By referencing our drone data against these base stations, we minimize potential errors and maintain high-quality spatial accuracy.

Furthermore, we strategically use Ground Control Points (GCPs). These are precisely surveyed points visible in the drone imagery, which we incorporate during data processing. GCPs act as vital anchors, ensuring our 3D models and other outputs are accurately georeferenced.
