Simply upload to cloud and turn UAV images into point cloud data
Solution Linkage Point Cloud Overview
Aerial photography surveying using standard UAV requires high-performance computers as well as analyses using expensive software to create point cloud data after taking the photos, which makes for very high initial introduction costs. Even after all the trouble of preparing UAV for construction sites, these tools are often used for no more than taking simple aerial photos.
The Solution Linkage Point Cloud service enables each customer to create 3D point cloud data from the aerial photos taken of construction sites themselves without purchasing dedicated computer terminals or software to create point cloud data.
Solution Linkage Point Cloud creates point cloud data from photos using the following four steps:
- Take aerial photographs of the site using UAV.
- Access Solution Linkage Cloud via a browser using an ID and password acquired in advance.
- Upload the aerial photos taken using the UAV and a CSV file with all the survey markers.
- Download the point cloud data (point cloud data file [LAS format], orthophoto data [TIFF format], and processing report [PDF file]) processed in the cloud from the cloud.
Point cloud processing software can use the point cloud file created with the steps above for volume and distance measurements. The upper limit of photos to upload for the analysis of one data set is 400 images, which can create point cloud data for a large 5 ha site depending on the UAV flight altitude.
Differences When Using Solution Linkage Point Cloud
High initial introduction costs and expert knowledge are required to create point cloud data for the current state of sites.
Procedure for Using Solution Linkage Point Cloud
*The coordinates need to be measured using Total Station or another system by setting up control point and verification point survey markers to input when creating point cloud data in the cloud in order to compare data chronologically or against initial measurement data. Please specify coordinates separately for each picture when not using dedicated control point markers.
