At Granite 3D, we specialise in providing advanced photogrammetry services for the heritage sector across the South West of the UK. Combining cutting-edge technology, drone-assisted imaging, and the latest in Createch (creative technology), we offer non-intrusive methods to capture, document, and preserve historical sites, artefacts, and monuments. Our services are designed to create immersive, interactive experiences that engage the public like never before.
Why Photogrammetry for Heritage?
Photogrammetry is an essential tool for the heritage sector, allowing the creation of highly accurate, three-dimensional models from photographs. These digital reconstructions provide valuable records for restoration, research, and public education. Our services go a step further, leveraging Createch to turn these models into immersive experiences, transforming the way people engage with history.
Drone-Assisted Photogrammetry
Our drone technology complements traditional ground-based photogrammetry, allowing us to capture detailed aerial views of hard-to-reach areas like elevated sections of historic buildings, expansive archaeological sites, and challenging terrain. This approach ensures every angle of a heritage site is documented with precision, providing:
• Aerial Overviews: Full, bird’s-eye perspectives of landscapes and heritage sites.
• Access to Remote Locations: Documentation of areas that are difficult to reach or fragile, such as tall monuments or rugged archaeological sites.
• Safety and Precision: Drones reduce the need for scaffolding or heavy equipment, ensuring both safety and minimal disruption to sensitive sites.
Our equipment:
We have in house a range of high resolution cameras, lights and survey poles to carry out a range of different types of photogrammetry from small objects to buildings. We also have a DJI Mavic 3E Enterprise Drone offering advanced mapping and operational efficiency with a variety of features suitable for diverse applications. Features include 56× zoom camera, 4/3 CMOS wide & tele camera and mechanical shutter.
