Hi All,

Great tip from @Chemistrydoc for "aerial" 360º photos/videos ... in this WGAN Forum discussion:

Coming to CUPIX: Drone + 360º Video Camera + Videogrammetry Made Easy

Are you doing this or something similar?

Best,

Dan

I have a 40+' telescoping fiberglass mast. i've pretty much stopped using it now that the drone works so well.

Can you get someone to take your photo while using your poles?

Best,

Dan

it's got a stand. use remote shutter. Don't think i'd mount the MP on it though. Especially if it was breezy. This isn't it but similar.

Great!

Can you get a photo of you using it - fully extended?

Best,

Dan

P.S. Let us know how it goes mounting your Matterport Camera at the top of that pole

No. I don't like using it anymore now that I'm old and feeble. Plus I don't think it will fit in the Prius.

Here's the telescoping painter's pole (aluminum construction):

I made an adapter for attachment of the Theta that was more substantial than some I've seen online..

Here is a Cupix example I created recently of a 1.5-acre residence at heights that range from 15' to 30'. Our goal was to highlight how Cupix can assist with roof inspections and extract "good enough" dimensions. Granted, I captured more than just the roofs for this example.

Some notes ...
- I used a "Wonder Pole", but probably would suggest something lighter.
- Images were created with a MadV (7k)
- The on-site capture took just under 1 hour.
- You can take measurements within the 3D Tour by selecting the icon in the upper left-hand toolbar. Use the "Common Point from 2 Panos" option. Notice the tips on taking dimensions. It takes a couple of times to get used to this method. For example, try taking measurements of the roof pitches.
- The north structure (or house) has images taken on multiple levels to capture low and high roofs.
- I did spend about 15 minutes in post-processing after the 3D Tour was auto-generated to scale the tour to a reference dimension and set up the Layout (or reference plan), which is just a screen grab from google earth.

@pcollart

Can you talk more about the business use case for "assist with roof inspections and extract "good enough" dimensions"?

Thanks,

Dan
