Aerial Mapping with UAVs and 3DM Analyst Mine Mapping Suite

In this post I expand on the video I uploaded to our YouTube channel that illustrates how to use UAVs with our software.

Residuals

What are residuals? How can we use them? This post answers both of those questions, showing how residuals can be used to identify blunders in your survey data, bad calibrations, and incorrect project setups.

Stereo Display Hardware

Stereo display options have been thin on the ground in recent years. This post covers a little of the history and describes in detail the specifications and setup of a new stereo workstation using the latest hardware that ADAM has purchased.

Removing Infrastructure from DTMs

In this post I explore how the DTM Filtering dialog can be used to remove infrastructure from DTMs for applications like stockpile volume calculations.

Computer Recommendations — Part 3

In the final article in this series I look at RAM, hard disks, operating systems, and summarise the recommendations of the first two posts.

Aerial Photography

With the advent of low-cost aerial platforms like UAVs customers are increasingly becoming interested in capturing their own aerial imagery for use with 3DM Analyst. In this post I’ll look at the issues involved and the techniques we use.

Computer Recommendations — Part 2

In this second article in the series I look at what impact the graphics chip has on our software and which ones you should use.

Computer Recommendations

What computer specifications should you aim for? This first in a series of articles looks at the impact the CPU has and explains how to decide whether an upgrade is worthwhile.
