FAQs
What is photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry, very basically, is the creation of a digital 3D model using strategically-taken photography. This can be done using basic photography hardware including DSLR and drones. Learn more
What industries benefit from photogrammetry?
There are many different use-cases for photogrammetry. These include
Environment and land management
Construction and architecture
Film and entertainment
Agriculture
Urban planning
Mining and geology
Archaeology and heritage preservation.
Learn more about how photogrammetry is being used in numerous industries.

What hardware and software is used in photogrammetry?
Hardware and software can vary depending upon the provider and the project requirements.
At Veratex, our hardware includes DSLR cameras and drones as well as light kits. We use software such as Agisoft Metashape and Blender to process and edit.

How much does photogrammetry cost?
Photogrammetry project costs can vary widely depending on the requirements. We start with a base pricing structure dependent upon the size of the object area being captured. Then things like post-processing requirements can add to that.

How long does a photogrammetry project take?
Project length is another variable that varies widely depending on the project requirements. A simple model may only take a few hours while a complex project could require several weeks.

Every project is unique, requiring a tailored approach to meet specific goals. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive workflow that ensures our client’s vision is realised with precision and efficiency.
-
Post-processing for photogrammetry can involve many things. Typically, what we mean by post-processing is anything from the initial processing of photographs through softrware that creates the digital 3D model to any further interventions to make the final product work for your specific project needs. This could be size reduction, model cleanup, or additional modeling.
