Carlson Photo Capture

OVERVIEW

cpc laptop 450

Aerial surveying and drone photogrammetry is rapidly becoming a vital part of any surveyor’s toolkit. Thousands of people use drone site flyovers every day to help boost efficiency and lower costs.

​

With Carlson PhotoCapture drone photo processing software, you can use flyover data to:


• Quickly generate interactive 3D maps of sites
• Capture highly accurate 3D site data in point clouds, orthophotos, and more
• Integrate LiDAR data from aerial or ground sources into photogrammetry projects
• Share site maps with customers – anywhere, anytime!
• Save man-hours in the field

Our proprietary technology helps you track and share every metric about your site from anywhere in the world. PhotoCapture is available both as a cloud-based service at photocapture.carlsonsw.com and as a standalone desktop application.
