Episode #38 Is Photogrammetry as Good as Lidar?
Description
Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Advisor, SimActive with Guest David Alamillo, Photogrammetry Specialist with SimActive.
The two primary technologies for mapping are photogrammetry and lidar. While lidar mapping is the newer of the two, does it necessarily mean it is better? The complexity of lidar lies in all the ancillary technology required to create a viable output, whereas photogrammetry needs no additional technology remaining the simpler of the two. This prompts the question of whether established technologies like photogrammetry remain a practical solution for many mapping scenarios.
Specifically, listeners will learn the following:
• Choosing the right sensor
• Preparing the project for processing
• Measuring accuracy
• Merging technologies to improve results
