Virtual 3D city model: Melbourne, Victoria-aero3Dpro
A growing number of Australian councils are currently acquiring 3D city models as an economical and efficient geospatial dataset for application including but not limited to emergency and disaster management, urban planning, assets management, tourism and cultural heritage.
Use of 3D city models for the Australian solar industry
The solar industry is currently booming in Australia and a growing number of companies are providing solar power panels installation services all around the country ( See Wikipedia article for additional information on Solar power in Australia).
To maximize the electricity output of solar panels, their optimal position has to be determined by taking into account a range of parameters … Read the rest
Innovative, quick and efficient 3D techniques for the monitoring and change analysis of construction and industrial sites using aero3Dpro
Traditional ways of monitoring an industrial or construction site include the use of webcams, ground photographs and ground laser scanners. These techniques can be time-consuming, expensive and cause potential safety issues.
aero3Dpro brings a whole new non-invasive, quick and cost-effective approach of monitoring industrial and construction sites by using advanced aerial photogrammetry techniques to reconstruct complete 3D models. You will … Read the rest
Melbourne Cricket Ground MCG realistic 3D model – aero3Dpro
MCG AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT GIVEN THE PERMISSION FOR THE PROMOTION OF THIS VIDEO
The boundaries of geospatial modelisation are pushed to the extreme with the emergence of new products and services derived from 3D photogrammetry.
In the aero3Dpro example below, a 3D realistic model of Melbourne Cricket Ground has been generated using aerial imagery acquired on the 31st August … Read the rest
Mt Buller 3D animation – Victoria, Australia
Situated in Victoria, 210km from Melbourne, Mt Buller is a mountain in the Australian Alps. The village situated near the the summit is primarly a resort town. Mount Buller is popular with snowsports enthusiasts in winter.
This 3D animation has been generated using a 30cm orthophoto mosaic draped over a 50cm digital terrain model.
What is the true value of investment in spatial information such as aerial imagery?
The importance of a solid and accurate spatial information infrastructure is very high to the development of a regional economy. Studies in Tasmania have shown that “based on our conservative estimates of the productivity improvements, Tasman Global modelling estimates that, in 2010-11, Tasmania’s real GSP increased by 0.4 per cent, or A$105 million, as a direct result of the uptake … Read the rest

High Resolution Digital Aerial Imagery vs High Resolution Satellite Imagery – Part 1
The gap between these two usually complementary mapping technologies is getting smaller as both satellite and aerial imaging systems have benefited from great technology improvements in the last decade. These technologies can even overlap in terms of resolution, meaning that issues such as accuracy, acquisition and processing time need to be taken into account . It is more of a … Read the rest

Old Highbery quarry 3D fly-through
Highbury quarry is a huge open-cut mine in the Adelaide suburban fringe. This old quarry is holding about 600 megalitres of crystal clear water.
This 3D visualization fly-through has been generated using UltraCam digital aerial orthophotos and a digital elevation model extracted from photogrammetry.
