The Revolution of Surveying with Regular Cameras Webinar
Hi, this is Eric Colburn and for myself, Datumate and Colburn Strategic Partners I invite you to this free webinar on the Revolution of Surveying with Regular Cameras. The technology used to survey with a regular camera is sometimes called close-range photogrammetry or you may have heard it called terrestrial photogrammetry. Regardless of the name, this is mapping from digital photographs for the 21st century!
Many professional land surveyors, civil engineers and GIS/geospatial professionals are surprised to learn how easy it is to use a regular, inexpensive camera with software like DatuGram™3D to quickly and safely make survey-grade measurements as accurate as their conventional total stations and GPS. Join us for this important, free webinar to learn more about how to survey and draw maps right on digital images taken from a high-resolution - yet inexpensive - regular camera, review real case studies and discuss why this technology is now possible.
