Geology / Mining
There are numerous applications in mining, quarrying and geology for the remote and accurate scanning technology of PhotoModeler Scanner.
PhotoModeler Scanner provides a very cost effective and efficient method for modeling cliff and exposed rock faces for measurement and planning. Also see the stockpile example. Cross sections and contours can also be extracted and exported.
Cliff Face
 This screen shot shows an eroded cliff face project. One of the three photographs, and two 3D views are portrayed. The top 3D view shows the shaded TIN and contours. The bottom 3D view shows the colored point cloud.
This fascinating video shows an animation of the rotating model along with changes in display type. (5MB FLV) |

Gravel Quarry
 These quarry and stockpile shots were done with a Canon EOS 1DS mark II and
50mm Leica lens from a Cesna 172 aeroplane at approx. 300 meters.

 This animation shows the gravel pit surface as a colored point cloud. [Note that in this animation only 3D points are rendered (as small solid-colored discs) and no surfaces appear - hence the sparkle look.]
