Why use photogrammetry in public safety?
Fast
documentation
Speed up scene documentation and tactical reconnaissance operations.Drone mapping takes a fraction of the time of traditional scene documentation or terrain recognition methods.
Revisit the scene in 3D
Investigators, forensic experts, insurance agents and jury members can revisit the scene at any time and from any location.Digitally record and access the full scene in detail. Secure local processing and online sharing.
Reliable
evidence
Create accurate recreations of a scene that can be used in court. Use centimeter-accurate 3D models to show the scene in court or during investigations.
