A launch pad on the grass, equipment in the vehicle and a clear view of the site: ESMERO worked in Biebergemünd-Wirtheim for terranets bw. Aerial imagery and the supplied building model became an interactive 3D visualisation. The flights and the project are complete; here is a look back at the work.
Making the surroundings part of the design view
How does a planned building relate to its surroundings? A useful visual answer needs both the building model and the site. Our task was to bring them together in a shared 3D scene.
The supplied planning data provided one part. We captured the other on site: the visible surfaces of the terrain, vegetation and existing buildings.
Drone capture with a mobile workstation
The photographs show our mobile setup with a laptop, remote controller and transport equipment. Working from the prepared launch area, we carried out the flights and recorded the imagery for subsequent photogrammetric processing.
Turning individual images into a spatial model
The overlapping aerial images were processed into a textured 3D model. The surroundings can therefore be explored from multiple viewpoints rather than seen only in a single photograph.
An alternative perspective on the terrain, transport routes and existing buildings.
The planned building in the landscape model
The model supplied by the client was prepared and integrated into the captured surroundings. This shows the planned building in its spatial context. The model views are planning visualisations, not photographs of a finished new building.
Planning visualisation: the proposed building and external works within the captured terrain.
Exploring different perspectives in the browser
The scene was also prepared for a web viewer. Users can explore the model freely and jump to selected perspectives using saved viewpoints. The captured imagery thus becomes a shared basis for visual discussion.
ESMERO handled the work from on-site capture to the completed 3D visualisation. The client supplied the building model.
