The use of thermal cameras has spread to many professional environments in recent years. They are easy to handle, and thermal images are quick to take. Images can also be attached to reports easily, such as for an inspection of an electrical installation or building as evidence of work carried out, or of any faults […]
The Carl Pulfrich Award 2017 has been awarded to Prof. Dr. Franz Rottensteiner for pioneering developments in 3D modelling and automated object extraction. The tribute was handed over by Dr. Juergen Dold, president and CEO of Hexagon Geosystems, at the Carl Pulfrich Award Ceremony 2017 during the 56th Photogrammetric Week at the University of Stuttgart. The […]
Fugro has been awarded a contract by Elia, Belgium’s electricity transmission system operator, for the capture and 3D modelling of part of its network of overhead transmission lines. Applying its Roames asset inspection and modelling solution, the surveying company will deliver accurate 3D models of the power company’s overhead lines combined with intelligent, cloud-based […]
The Canon XEED 4K500ST is said to be the world’s smallest and lightest 4K installation projector. Designed for a wide range of applications including simulation, medical imaging and engineering, the projector offers 4K resolution whilst being compact and lightweight. Utilising the brand’s heritage and expertise in optical design and advanced imaging technologies, the XEED 4K500ST delivers […]
There has always been a strong relationship between 3D scanning (laser or optical) and 3D modelling technologies, particularly in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) field. 3D Modelling in the AEC industry is not dependent on 3D scanning technologies since manual surveys and traditional surveying techniques are often sufficient. Scanning, however, does offer the […]
With the general public being exposed to 3D imagery on an ever increasing scale, it is not surprising that this has now become the standard for representing engineering data. With the imagery, simply being a representation of data stored within a formal database, extended use of this data has dramatically increased. The power to […]
