The Chillon Castle

The Chillon Castle – Photogrammetry for VR and AR

Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Cultural Heritage

Digital artist Chris Blaser of g3D art-e-motion, along with Circle Lab GmbH, is working on a new Army museum in the area of Montreux, Switzerland. The museum will be opened in 2020 inside the Fort de Chillon, right above the medieval castle Chillon. The goal here is to extract a Low Poly version of the castle with Normals from the High Poly output for VR and Realtime Preview.

The Jabal Hafit anticline

Geology, Aerial Photogrammetry

Reuben J. Hansman and Uwe Ring of the Department of Geological Sciences of the Stockholm University, presented a workflow for field geologists that includes the usage of aerial photogrammetry to cover the wide area of the Jabal Hafit anticline in the United Arab Emirates. The aim is the extraction of geological information from the 3D reconstruction to create a 3D geological model

QuarryVolume

Quarry Volume Monitoring

Volume monitoring

Zerolab, Italian design studio, applies aerophotogrammetric survey across a quarry being exploited as landifill for aggregates. The main goal is to periodically survey the volume increase of quarry material.

Creation of game assets

Videogames, Modeling

Tomáš Búran – 3d artist making models for the Game Industry and for VR medical applications – will guide you through his process of generating smaller objects like fruits, vegetables, small statuettes etc. using close range photogrammetry. In this case study, the target is asset generation for videogames using 3DF Zephyr.

Multispectral

Multispectral Images

Precision Agriculture

DL Droni SRL, Italian company providing aerial photography and photogrammetry services used a specific camera to shoot multispectral photos of countryside area to monitor vegetation and processed them with 3DF Zephyr Aerial.
3DF Zephyr Aerial allows you to easily process multispectral images and create a custom output band combining output bands from multispectral camera.

19* century cemetery

Archaeology

IRLAB (Institute for Research and Learning in Archaeology and Bioarchaeology), a 501 (c)(3) organization conducting research projects on funerary and archaeological contexts both in Italy and in the United States, shows a skeleton (identified by the code USk2110) belonging to an adult individual (about 25 y.o.) uncovered in a 19* century rural cemetery in central Ohio (Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery) where a cholera epidemic took place in 1832 and 1849.

Caracalla

Arch of Caracalla

Photogrammetry & BIM

The Dar_Med Unit, a group of teachers and researches of the University of Florence headed by Prof. Giovanni Pancani took advantage of 3DF Zephyr to 3D reconstruct one of the most astonishing, to say the least, landmark of the surroundings, namely the Arch of Caracalla at Volubilis, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauretania located near today’s city of Meknes, Morocco.

Calenzano

Mixed Aerial / Ground

Microgeo, our exclusive Italian reseller for 3DF Zephyr Aerial show you Calenzano, a small Village in the region of Tuscany, near the city of Florence, Italy.
This project shows how the power of 3DF Zephyr allows you to merge different survey methods such as ground pictures, aerial pictures, and laser scan.
