From photographs to geometry
Photogrammetry reconstructs visible surfaces from overlapping photographs. The resulting geometry can provide a starting point for a property model, with scale and accuracy checked against appropriate site measurements.
CAD-ready documentation is a proposed next step. A photographic reconstruction should not be treated as a construction drawing, engineering survey or verified property boundary without the additional work those uses require.
Choose the layer for the question
The sample viewer illustrates four kinds of information. Actual collection would depend on the sensors, conditions and methods agreed for the property.
- Drone survey: visible roofs, structures, vegetation and site context.
- 3D / CAD: geometry that can be refined and linked to inspection records.
- Thermal: apparent surface-temperature patterns requiring interpretation; a hot surface is not a measurement of flammability.
- Moisture & vegetation: suitable sensor observations and field samples. Ordinary photographs do not directly measure moisture.
Keep measurements separate from assumptions
Each layer should record when it was collected, the method used and where it is incomplete. A field sample, a measured dimension and a visual estimate should remain distinguishable in the model.
The intended handoff would connect observations to source photographs and flag details needing confirmation. File formats, measurement tolerances and permitted uses would be agreed before an engagement.
Read the demonstration as an illustration
The Capture & Model viewer illustrates a workflow in development. Thermal colors, moisture markers, and geometry are sample visuals, not customer-property measurements.
The separate wildfire-exposure demonstration uses experimental assumptions and is not a validated property risk score. It cannot establish a home’s likely damage, insurability, or certification status.
