When a scaled facade elevation is needed with windows, joints, materials, defects, decor and actual surface condition.
When the visual appearance matters as much as geometry: color, material texture, damage, finishing elements and historic details.
Roofs, towers, facades, courtyards, territories, industrial sites, monuments, sculptures and decorative elements.
Before restoration, reconstruction, demolition, inspection, design work or handover to contractors.
Photogrammetry adds textures, orthophotos, visual detail and restoration or presentation materials to the point cloud.
For an initial estimate, send the address, object type, approximate dimensions, task, required formats and access constraints. Photos, old drawings or a brief help us estimate the survey faster.
The client sends the address, object type, approximate dimensions, task, required formats and access constraints.
We define zones, angles, photo overlap, the need for a drone, control points and possible combination with laser scanning.
We survey the object with the required frame overlap, capturing facades, roofs, territories, decor, defects and complex surfaces.
We align photographs, build a dense point cloud, mesh model and textures, then check data quality.
We prepare orthophotos, a textured model, point cloud, images and other materials in agreed formats.
We transfer files and data structure and, when needed, help use the materials in CAD, BIM, reports or restoration documentation.
Photo processing, camera alignment, dense cloud generation, mesh models, textures and orthophotos.
Survey of facades, roofs, territories, decor, construction sites and hard-to-reach zones.
Capture of facade details, interiors, decor, defects, materials and complex architectural elements.
Used for scaling, coordinate referencing and improving the reliability of the result.
For tasks with high geometric accuracy requirements, photogrammetry can complement laser scanning with textures, orthophotos and visual materials.
Survey results can be linked with panoramas, photos, inspection points and project materials in SPLINE360.SPACE. This is convenient for remote object review, discussing facade condition, tracking changes and transferring data to the project team.
Photogrammetry is strong where textures, orthophotos, mesh and visual surface capture are needed. But for high geometric accuracy, complex interiors, engineering systems and BIM modeling, a combination of photogrammetry and laser scanning is often the better choice.
| Criterion | Photogrammetry | Laser scanning | Simple drone capture | BIM / 3D modeling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When to choose | You need surface condition, texture, defects, facade, roof or heritage capture. | You need maximum geometry accuracy and a complete object point cloud. | You need overview photos/video without a measurable model or orthophoto. | You need a working design model based on capture or scanning data. |
| Visual detail | Strong: texture, color, damage, masonry, decor and surface condition. | Limited without photo capture; strong for shape, not always for texture. | Photos are available, but without connected 3D geometry and scale. | Depends on modeling scope; actual texture is usually not the main goal. |
| Geometry and accuracy | Depends on capture, control points and surface quality; good for orthophotos and visual models. | Best for high accuracy, complex interiors and coordinate basis. | Low measurability without photogrammetric processing. | Geometry is created from source data and the agreed LOD/LOG. |
| Deliverables | TIFF/PDF orthophotos, OBJ/FBX/GLB/PLY mesh, LAS/LAZ/E57 when needed, PDF schemes. | E57/RCP/LAS point cloud, DWG, BIM and orthophotos in a combined capture. | Photos, video, overview materials and sometimes a simple map by request. | RVT, PLN, IFC, DWG/PDF, 3D model and schedules by agreed scope. |
| Limitations | Weak on flat, mirror, transparent and poorly lit surfaces. | Does not replace textures and visual capture without photo or aerial capture. | Does not solve measurable facade elevations and mesh models by itself. | Not a capture method; quality depends on the source data. |
For complex objects we often recommend a combination: laser scanning for geometry and photogrammetry for texture, facades and hard-to-reach zones.
For capturing facades, decor, losses, damage and materials for restoration documentation.
For orthophotos, facade unfoldings, models and visual data on existing objects.
For digital condition capture, surveys, reconstruction and data handover to contractors.
For recording current conditions, checking roofs, facades, territories and construction stages.
For preserving a digital copy of an object, decor elements, monuments, sculptures and historic surfaces.
