Photogrammetric 3D modelling
Textured 3D models for measurement and documentation
We plan nadir, oblique and, where needed, terrestrial capture; reconstruct the geometry; and verify the model against the project control.
Photogrammetric 3D modelling
Dense cloud, textured mesh and orthoprojections
Georeferencing and QA configured to the brief
Public FAE portfolio with interactive models
Nadir and oblique imagery
Complete geometry starts with the right viewing angles
The flight plan creates convergent coverage of façades, roofs and surfaces hidden from a single viewpoint. Orbit count, stand-off distance and resolution follow the shape of the building and the required level of detail.
Where a surface cannot be documented safely from the air, the workflow can combine drone imagery with terrestrial photographs.
FAE · PrejmerPhotogrammetric workflow
From the image network to controlled geometry
Modelling a building is not a simple video orbit. Every photograph must contribute a useful reconstruction angle and remain verifiable within the complete dataset.
Design the coverage
Nadir, oblique and terrestrial paths coherently cover façades, edges and the roof.
Reconstruct and control
Alignment, dense cloud, mesh and texture are checked against the available geodetic control.
Prepare the deliverable
The full model, orthoprojections and web version are optimised separately for their intended use.
Public FAE Drones portfolio
Real monuments, explorable 3D models
This selection brings together models published by FAE Drones. Each thumbnail shows the actual model and opens its interactive version.
CastleBran Castle
Aerial photogrammetric reconstruction of Bran Castle’s volumes, roofs and façades.
CastleCorvin Castle
3D model of the medieval ensemble in Hunedoara, including towers, courtyards and strong height variation.
FortressFăgăraș Fortress
Reconstruction of the quadrilateral fortress and its immediate setting, published as an interactive model.
FortressEnisala Fortress
Photogrammetric model of the medieval Enisala ruins and the terrain that defines their setting.
Religious heritagePrejmer Fortified Church
Aerial model of the fortified enclosure, also used to illustrate the convergent image network.
Religious heritageVoroneț Monastery
Public photogrammetric model of the Voroneț Monastery church and enclosure, captured in 2021.
Religious heritageThree Hierarchs Monastery
3D reconstruction of the medieval church in Iași, with richly ornamented façade geometry and texture.
Urban ensembleAiud Fortress
Model of the urban fortified ensemble, relevant to documenting monuments embedded in the built fabric.Geometric control and 3D deliverables
The model is tied to the project coordinate system
GNSS/RTK, control points and checkpoints are selected for the required accuracy and use. The QA report distinguishes verified accuracy from the visual resolution of the texture.
Measurement capability and final accuracy depend on capture geometry, control, surface visibility and the contracted processing level.
Deliverables for documentation, design and presentation
Depending on the brief, delivery can include a point cloud, textured mesh, façade orthoprojections, plans, sections or a web-optimised model.
Formats may include LAS/LAZ, OBJ, PLY, FBX, 3DS, COLLADA, GeoTIFF, KMZ/KML and other agreed CAD/GIS or BIM formats.
Portfolio models are web-optimised previews; technical deliverables and their level of detail are specified separately for each project.
Online delivery included
Your project stays accessible, not merely downloadable.
FAE Drones projects include 12 months of free access to the online delivery. Depending on the contracted deliverables, clients can open the orthomosaic and/or point cloud directly in a browser, take measurements, overlay vector plans and share access with collaborators through a no-account link.
The included period starts when the project is published in the portal. Access can be extended on request after 12 months.
Browser orthomosaic
A dedicated 2D viewer with distance and area measurement tools.
3D point cloud
Potree viewing and 3D measurements when the point cloud is part of the project.
Plan overlays
KMZ/DXF files and other vector layers can be compared with the measured reality.
Share by link
