Leica Geosystems will incorporate Bentley Systems’ Acute3D software to generate full 3D from photogrammetric surveys.
To be used for both UAV and piloted aircraft, users can now produce true 3D models that reflect the real-world context in mapping and infrastructure applications, directly from digital photography.
Leica Geosystems, an international manufacturer and developer of geospatial data acquisition and mapping products, has selected Acute3D software to generate full 3D “reality mesh” representations from its airborne photogrammetric imagery. This combination of software and hardware advancements will enable users to take full advantage of integrated 3D surveying and mapping.
Through reality modelling, observations of existing conditions are processed into representations for contextual alignment – for instance, within design modelling and construction modelling environments, in addition to mapping. Rather than generating a voluminous cloud of discrete points, Acute3D produces a 3D reality mesh, readily aligning the real-world context in mapping and infrastructure applications.
“Acute3D’s breakthrough capabilities make it possible to now produce true 3D models, even in engineering formats, directly from digital photography, with unlimited scalability,” Styli Camateros, Bentley Systems Senior Vice President, said. “Doing so through Leica Geosystems’ new oblique imagery acquisition systems provides the market with a uniquely advantageous platform, precision-engineered from flight to model!”
John Welter, President, Geospatial Solutions Division, Leica Geosystems, said, “We strive to offer customers a highly integrated geospatial workflow solution, and with Bentley’s Acute3D technology, we are continuing to do that with intrinsic, reconstructed 3D models.”
At Bentley Systems’ Year in Infrastructure 2015 Conference next month, industry experts including Acute3D will discuss;
- UAV and Digital Photogrammetry Technology – ‘The Rise of Big (Spatial) Data.
- Site and BMH Optioneering: Improving the FEL 1 & 2 Phase – ‘Good Planning ‘Matters’.
- Managing the Transition into Autonomous Mining – ‘The Control of the Machines’.
