3d photogrammetry and scanning of Skalbmierz church

admin — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:20:07 +0000

3d scanning of outside structure of the monastery in Skalbmierz took less than one day. In such a short time we managed to obtain full spatial data of the object there data later could be used to plot precise floor plans, sections and elevation views. If necessary these data can be converted in to 3D CAD model. The first deliverable of 3d scanning process – point cloud can be reused at any time, for example to the faithful reproduction of the object in case of fire or flood.

In addition to the standard laser scanning we took images that later in the process were used to color the point cloud. We also created high resolution ortho images (metric images) of the front facades which can be used by restorers to assess the damage of walls. For both tasks coloring and ortho generation we implemented our new methodology that combines two elements of the accuracy of the final product and the relatively low amount of work which means lower cost.

Hds laser scanning of telecom tower in Krakow

admin — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 10:18:29 +0000

Just after we purchased 3d laser scanner Riegl VZ-400 we ventured to do 3d laser scanning of a telecom tower in Kraków – Podgorze, Poland. This object is 62 meter high and was built in 1965, it is a property of TP EmiTel. We have done very similar project hds laser scanning of a telecom tower in Scotland, this was only a test project aimed to check scanner performance and possibly show the results to the owner company. There are many advantages of using 3d laser scanner to measure this kind of object: We received a huge amount of data in such a short time ( the whole measurement took 6 hours),

long distance from scanning object (few scan positions were 200 meters from the tower), no need to switch off telecom equipment ( it would be impossible if we surveyed it using traditional methods), final point cloud was used for 3d modeling in Cad, uploaded directly to software used by designers of transmitters and other telecom equipments. It is also possible to integrate many point clouds or 3d models of towers into one coordinates system by integrating 3d laser scanning with GPS measurements.

Measured building surveys of PKP Gdynia, Poland

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:05:11 +0000

Train station in Gdynia is one of the biggest railway stations in Poland. Was destroyed during the II World War. New station, designed by prof. Waclaw Tomaszewski was built in the fifties. The complex consists of a station building and railway station connected by covered walkway. In the basement of the station there are two air-raid shelters. Refurbishment project of this complex worth 30 mln euro is going to take place in the middle of next year.

Due to the fact that this station is a historic building, the designers cannot introduce significant changes to external shape, but the interior is to be changed beyond recognition. In Autum 2009 3deling had made a detailed inventory of this building complex and also made 3D model of this complex.
We applied 3D laser scanning technology combined with precise measurements. The final product contains floor plans of cellars (shelters), ground floor, floors 1 to 4, and roofs. We also drow nine main sections and all facades.

3D modelling Middlesex Hospital Chapel in London

Our task was to deliver a 3d model of Middlesex Hospital Chapel in London. The object is included in the National Heritage list. We were hired just to do the model we received as the scanner data that was already registered.

The Investor planned to demolish all surrounding buildings around the chapel and erect a new building complex. Only the wall structure and windows were to be shown in the 3D model.

3d Modeling in Birmingham

admin — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:25:46 +0000

The investor planned to build a new shopping complex in the center of Birmingham called “Martineau Galleries”. There were 2 reasons to commission 3d modeling services of surrounding buildings. The first one “right of lights” regulations,

the model allowed architects to plan the amount/volume of light reaching the surrounding buildings. And the second one was building visualization. That is why the investor required a more detailed 3d Model. We did not do the scanning. The whole project was divided and 3Deling was used only on one section.

3d modeling of building complex in Reading

admin — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:20:06 +0000

The aim of the project was performing 3d model of complex of buildings in Reading,UK. Registered point cloud was delivered by client. The developer planned to demolish old building and built a new one on the same spot.

The high accuracy of the model wasn’t required, since it was used for estimation of day light that will be reaching the surrounding buildings after completion of construction.
