10 posts about photogrammetry, written by people who have actually been down a mine with a scanner.
Pix4D and Metashape produce accurate point clouds and orthomosaics, but delivering them to clients is a different problem. Here is the professional workflow.
May 19, 2026Photogrammetry, NeRF, and Gaussian Splatting all reconstruct 3D scenes from photos — compared on accuracy, file size, processing time, and best use cases.
May 18, 2026LiDAR and photogrammetry both create 3D spatial data, but they work differently. Here's a detailed comparison to help you choose the right technology.
April 14, 2026An orthomosaic is a geometrically corrected aerial image mosaic used in surveying, construction, and agriculture. How they work and how to share them.
March 26, 2026A point cloud is a collection of millions of 3D coordinate points representing a physical space. What they are, how they're captured, and how to view.
March 17, 20263D Gaussian Splatting produces photorealistic scenes from drone or camera footage. How it works, how it compares to photogrammetry, and what it means.
March 10, 2025Step-by-step guide to exporting 3D Tiles from Pix4D, Metashape, and RealityCapture so drone survey outputs can be streamed and viewed in any modern browser.
September 5, 2024Full pipeline tutorial: drone flight planning, processing in RealityCapture, exporting to 3D Tiles, and sharing a browser-viewable point cloud with clients.
August 15, 2024Step-by-step guide to stitching 360° panoramas from single-lens cameras — overlap requirements, camera settings, and the full workflow from capture to share.
April 18, 20243D mapping turns the physical world into digital datasets. How LiDAR, photogrammetry, and drone capture technologies work, and how the data gets used.
