1500ft Tower Modeling

Posted Posted in 3D Modeling, Aerial Services, Data Solutions, Photogrammetry, Survey

This week I joined one of my partners for a trip to try to model what I call the “holy grail” of aerial photogrammety.   I have been developing a workflow of using terrestrial photogrammetry and a series of software suites to automatically model intricate lattice structures without the typical noise associated with photogrammetry projects of […]

Camas Real Estate Shoot

Posted Posted in Aerial Services, Real Estate

Got a call again from Stuart at the Real Estate Investment Group about a lot in Camas, WA they needed some aerial and ground shots of.  This was just some quick shots of two lots at the corner of 20th and 192nd.  I parked behind a business and spent about 20 minutes orbiting the area […]

Woodburn Lot

Got a call from Stuart at the Real Estate Investment Group about a lot in Woodburn just off I-5 they needed some aerial and ground shots of.  I had some time Friday before Emily’s parents flew in so I headed south for the quick capture.  Turned out great.  See below.   Gallery & Prints Here

Future Solar Farm Sites

Posted Posted in 3D Modeling, Aerial Services, Data Solutions, Photogrammetry, Survey

This week I enjoyed two full days of fairly easy aerial mapping for S&F Land Services.  S&F had 6 fairly large sites where their client was planning on building solar farms.  This work was to provide high resolution preliminary aerial imagery for each site.   These sites ranged from 35 to a massive 117 acres.  Most […]

Sheridan Vineyard

At the end of this week I rushed out to meet my buddy Mike Magyar at an absolutely beautiful vineyard just outside of Sheridan, OR.  Mike had asked me to help him map the site.  Part of the property was heavily vegetated with no chance of a reliable ground model from a photogrammetry derived point […]

Final Construction Layer Cake

This week I completed the final processing for the last post-tension slab pour of a building for BD Aerial.  Because of NDA’s in place I can’t reveal who we were working for or where the building is located.  Each week I traveled out to the site and flew a deck before they poured the cement.  […]

Baumberger Studio Flights

Baumberger Studio reached out to me recently for some flights of a site they are designing a building for near the PSU Campus.  For these flights they wanted very specific angles of the site both during the afternoon hours and at dusk when the lights start coming on in the buildings.  Fortunately for them there […]

UAV Roadway Mapping with S&F Land Services

Posted Posted in 3D Modeling, Aerial Services, Data Solutions, GIS Solutions, Photogrammetry, Survey

This week S&F Land Services had me fly 164th Street for the City of Vancouver.  This was a roadway project requiring a high resolution ortho as well as a surface model.  The roadway had a bunch of trees with canopies overhanging the road.  This meant that I had to plan my acquisition very carefully to […]

Minnesota Work with PDS

Posted Posted in 3D Modeling, Aerial Services, Data Solutions, GIS Solutions, Photogrammetry, Real Estate, Survey

I have recently entered into a partnership with PDS Drones of Minnesota to process the aerial imagery they capture into survey-grade 3D models and orthomosaics.  This was the first job I completed for them and it was a proof of concept for their client so I did my best to “wow” them with quality deliverables […]

Fernhill Wetlands

Posted Posted in Aerial Services, Inspections, Marketing, Photography, Real Estate

Topa3D has been growing in leaps and bounds over the past year and the owner Paul has been stretched thin on time.  This works out great for me as he sometimes will farm out local work to me to capture while he is out of town on bigger projects.  Such was the case this time […]
