Herndon, Virginia—Dec 16, 2024—Skyline Software Systems Inc. is excited to announce the release of PhotoMesh Drone. This single-computer solution maximizes hardware’s processing power with its multiple fusers architecture, ensuring fast and efficient photogrammetry and 3D modeling. When working with global or rolling shutter cameras, multi-spectral images, video, or LiDAR, PhotoMesh Drone leverages advanced photogrammetry, computer vision, and AI algorithms to tackle even the most complex mapping and reconstruction projects. Key features include:
- Generates the highest quality 3D and 2D outputs in the industry, excelling in reconstructing man-made surfaces like buildings, infrastructure, and roads. Offers exceptional orthomosaic processing in both True Ortho and Rapid Ortho Composite formats, delivering unparalleled quality and accuracy.
- Supports a wide range of outputs, including multi-resolution 3D mesh models, orthophotos, DSM/DTM, and point clouds, in industry-standard formats (3D Tiles, SLPK, OBJ, LAS, and more).
- Optimized for local hardware, delivering fast and accurate results on a single computer.
- Leverages GPS/RTK/PPK geo-positioning data for enhanced Aerotriangulation. Utilizes GCPs for survey-grade accuracy—either manual or automatic workflows. Alternatively, PhotoMesh can automatically register to a reference project with pixel-level precision—perfect for repeat projects or GPS-denied environments.
- Offers a comprehensive set of quality assurance and editing tools. With its tiling and tagging mechanisms, specific sections of a 3D reconstruction project can be easily inspected and tagged. Once areas that need improvement are identified, selected parts of the project can be rerun with customized presets for optimal results. The Manual Retouch toolkit also allows direct editing of the mesh model, ensuring the final output meets the highest standards.
