3D Model

This historical Federal-era house (http://classicalamericanhomes.org/ayr-mount/) built in 1815 was digitized through a collaboration among the following public and private institutions:

UNC Chapel Hill Research Laboratories of Archaeology (https://sketchfab.com/rla-archaeology)

Aer Analytica LLC (Raleigh, NC USA)

Charlotte Aerial Solutions LLC (Charlotte, NC USA)

vaireco GmbH (Konstanz, Germany)

The georeferenced model achieved an average Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) or pixel size of 6.5 mm leading to a calibrated model with < 1 cm of absolute accuracy.

Technical specs:

122 ground photos: Nikon D3200

557 aerial photos: DJI Phantom 3 Pro

We thank everyone’s efforts at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and the various corporate team members that were necessary to execute the multi-faceted logistics, data handling, legal flight permissions, and photogrammetry processing.
