Welcome to the basics of 3Dsurveying!
Learning the basics of working with 3Dsurvey is as easy as 1-2-3. Literally! The core workflow consists of three main stages: capturing, processing and sharing your data.
Capture
Before you can import data into 3Dsurvey you need to determine your primary data source.
Process
Once you select your primary data source you are ready to learn about importing and basic processing.
Share
Good work is meant to be shared! 3Dsurvey makes data exporting and sharing super easy and convenient.

1. How to capture data
Choose your primary data source
The easiest and fastest way to get you started is to simply download one of our tutorial data sets and move on to the next stage. You may also use our free Pilot app or review other compatible data as well.
Collect all the data you need faster, safer and smarter than ever before.
Simply download the free Pilot app, connect it with your drone, and let it fly.
3Dsurvey is capable of handling terrestrial and aerial data, acquired by any type of camera.
You can explore and combine all types of point cloud data, from LIDAR to sonar.
For the purpose of this tutorial section, we suggest you review how you can use a smartphone for indoor mapping.

2. How to process data
Import your data and start 3Dsurveying
For the purpose of this tutorial section, we are going to show you how to import the Construction Site tutorial data set, demonstrate Ground Control Point (GCP) orientation and geo-referencing, along with reconstructing a Dense Point Cloud, calculating a complete 3D Mesh Model and an Orthophoto, and volume calculation.
3. How to share data
Export and share your data
Export your work to Google Earth, CAD, or any other third-party software. Use our free 3Dsurvey Viewer app to simplify your team collaboration needs even further.
3Dsurvey Viewer is fully compatible with any third-party sources, point clouds and 3D models, so just download it and confidently share your great work with your colleagues and clients.

Photogrammetry as a Tool for the Forensic Documentation
When a road accident happens, the authorities must close the road for traffic, sometimes for hours, as they not only need to make sure safety is restored but they also need to investigate the accident scene to determine why and how an accident happened which can take hours. This not only affects people involved in the accident but also affects others since traffic congestion, de-routing, delays, causing a lot of dissatisfaction and lost working hours.
