Drones in the Library: Creating Data Through Photogrammetry

Toronto Metropolitan University Libraries

Ryerson Library collaborates with researchers across a variety of disciplines that require capturing and modelling the real world in 3D

At Ryerson University Library, we collaborate with researchers across a variety of disciplines that require capturing and modeling the real world in 3 dimensions (3D). To do so, several 3D reconstruction technologies have been applied, varying in cost and ease of use. Some applications require capturing large areas for which a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) or “drone” presents a cost effective option for data acquisition.In this installment of the Drones in Library series, Jimmy Tran and Dan Jakubek will take you through the process of creating orthomosaics, digital terrain/surface models, point cloud datasets and 3D meshes. The process of Aerial Photogrammetry will be described using Pix4D Capture to outline the flight planning process. A live demonstration of Drone2Map software will follow to illustrate the processing workflows necessary for data creation. * This workshop is open only to the Ryerson community.
