What are the benefits of textured surface models vs point clouds and untextured surface models when it comes to structural mapping? Read on to find out!

In this post we expand on the video we uploaded to our YouTube channel that illustrates how to use UAVs with our software.

We thought this would be a good topic to discuss because many people don’t really understand what residuals are and most people don’t make as much use of them as they could.

Stereo display options have been thin on the ground in recent years. This post covers a little of the history and describes in detail the specifications and setup of a new stereo workstation using the latest hardware that ADAM has purchased.

In this post we explore how the DTM Filtering dialog can be used to remove infrastructure from DTMs for applications like stockpile volume calculations.

In the final article in this series we look at RAM, hard disks, operating systems, and summarise the recommendations of the first two posts.

With the advent of low-cost aerial platforms like UAVs customers are increasingly becoming interested in capturing their own aerial imagery for use with 3DM Analyst. In this post we’ll look at the issues involved and the techniques we use.

Part 3 of this series looks at how much effort is required to achieve a given level of accuracy. This is critically important because although something may be possible in theory, if the effort required in practice is excessive then it may as well be impossible.

In Part 2 we show how you can estimate the accuracy beforehand so you can achieve the required accuracy with the least effort.

In this first of a series of posts on accuracy we’ll look at the practical limits on what can be — and has been — achieved in the real world by our customers.
