Virtual Surveyor claims better understanding of the topography mapped using its terrain lenses

While drone deployment is still in early stages for many companies, an important trend to watch is the falling price of LiDAR.So, why would companies using drones prefer LiDAR over more traditional photogrammetry? Much of the decision rests on how much imagery detail a drone mission needs to capture.

The developer of photogrammetry software is offering the options for camera and satellite sensors.

The topic of what 3D imagery is admissible in court is especially relevant for law enforcement, insurers, large companies and others that have vested interests in finding out who was liable or responsible for a crime or tortious injury.

Version 3.9 brings increased data capabilities and efficiency to provide UltraCam users with richer data products.

TopGis has contracted to purchase an UltraCam Eagle digital aerial photogrammetric camera system with an 80mm lens from Microsoft’s UltraCam business unit and subsidiary.
