Photogrammetry is a process of using terrestrial and aerial visual imagery to create a highly detailed, textured 3D model of any physical item - from a rare artefact to large-scale infrastructure or even whole communities.
The value of photogrammetry is the detail it can captures and that , even on large-scale assets.
The 3D virtual models can then be used to:
Inspect and assess large, or inaccessible assets without the risk of a physical inspection, and from anywhere in the world.
Develop comprehensive, highly detailed digital records of build assets.
Create a digital twin of rare or fragile artefacts.
Mapping and modelling sites and buildings.
Rise has in-house photogrammetry expertise and holds a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) which allows us to apply to CASA to fly within restricted air space. All our pilots are required to hold a Remote Pilot Licences (RePL).
Rise partnered with the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory to create 3D digital twins of 18 of the 2022 'National Aboriginal and Torrest Strait Islander Art Award' (NATSIAA) artworks using photogrammetry.
The 3D models were individually inserted into the virtual gallery that Rise also created giving people around the world the opportunity be immersed in this amazing exhibition, and to be able to virtually move and examine the artworks up close.
Rock art site
Rise was engaged to capture a remote rock art site with photogrammetry for a film production company.
The site was situated in remote northern Western Australia and was approximately 50m high x 20m wide. The site images were captured over 2 days and the photogrammetry model took another few days to generate.
The 3D photogrammetry model has incredible detail right down to tool and animal scratches on the surface of the rock.
Rise used both terrestrial and drone footage to create a photogrammetry model of a large water tank so that client could inspect the digital model without the risks inherent in inspecting large physical infrastructure.
Rise used terrestrial and drone imagery to create a 3D photogrammetry model of a large water tank for the client to use to assess the condition of the exterior of the tank.
Creating a photogrammetry model is not only safer, quick and more accurate than doing a manual inspection, but also provides a highly accurate condition report for future reference.
