Aerial 3D Terrain Mapping with a Drone

3D Textured Model of Trona Pinnacles3D Model of Trona Pinnacles

Recently I edited a 3D model and created a quick video in Autodesk ReMake (formerly Autodesk Memento.)  The 3D model was generated using Autodesk ReCap 360 Pro from photos taken last month using an UAS/drone in the hot windy Trona Pinnacles near Death Valley California. The ability to create 3D textured models from aerial photos opens up many possibilities in design, construction, and site mapping. Autodesk has released specific features in ReCap 360 Pro named Fly that allow you to create point clouds, geolocated maps, incorporate ground control, and automatically create orthographic images.
