|
Start with a Photograph scanned or from a digital
camera, load it into SM Elevations
|
 |
|
Lens Correct the photo - this will straighten a
known straight or flat surface - Lens Correction takes
about 30 seconds. |
 |
|
Calibrate the photo - all you need is two known
dimensions x-y axis, this takes about 10 seconds
|
|
 |
|
Trace the features of the building that are shown in the
photograph.
Making sure that this is done accurately - if many
windows/features are the same, just do one of them
because they can be copied easily in CAD.

 |
|
When the tracing/measuring is complete, Sitemaster
Elevations produces a complete report.
|
|
 |
|
Next Export to CAD or DXF files -
we usually use Sitemaster Building as our CAD programme,
but any CAD programme will work well.
|

 |
Sitemaster Building or your CAD programme receives the
rectified data - examples are for illustration
purposes only and are not finished

Photographic Facade Survey
SiteMaster Elevation is an independent add-on for
SiteMaster. You can benefit from photogrammetric
procedures by determining detailed measurements from
freehand digital photographs or scanned images.
SiteMaster Elevation requires only one rectangle with
two known side lengths for calibrating an image plan.
The software lets you measure and draw a building in 2D
with added height information on flo ors,
openings etc.
It saves the exact measurement results by redrawing the
image with points, lines, rectangles, polylines, arcs
and circles. SiteMaster Elevation transfers drawing
elements with state-of-the-art technology to your CAD
system, e.g. or SiteMaster Building. After completing
your measurements you can generate a report list of all
measurements and areas. The results can be exported in
excel lists.
Processing digital photographs of the building's facade
in SiteMaster Elevation allows you to enhance your
project into a full 3D plan with precise exterior views.
You can exchange drawing files between SiteMaster
Elevation, SiteMaster (and other solutions) using the .FLX
(PowerCAD) and .DXF file formats.
Note! Precision is approximately 5mm over 8 metres when
using a 6megapixal camera. A
high resolution and large image and large calibration
plane will give max precision and ability to zoom/pick
points. |
