In this case, we have a cluttered environment with scaffolding and other structures limiting visibility.
The origin plate and scale plates were placed in locations where they would be as visible as possible, but not at risk of being moved by other workers on site.
The camera operator walked slowly around the scaffolding, making sure to visit all necessary areas, and getting close to all the targets. Note the loop closure where possible.
Extra care was taken to ensure full connectivity in this area due to the limited space and low lighting.
In this example we have a 700 square metre office renovation captured after interior demolition. This situation is easier due to the greater visibility and the entire floor was captured in around 10 minutes.
While walking around the site, the camera operator was careful to regularly turn around a full 360 degrees to ensure good coverage in all directions. You can see that as the small loops in the camera track, some of which have been circled in red here:
Care was taken to ensure loop closure through this gap where walking was not possible by turning the camera around on both sides of the gap.
For large open areas such as this 3000 square metre uncovered car park, we recommend mounting the camera facing downwards onto a 2 metre monopod. This provides better visibility of the ground than when hand-holding the camera.
When walking around the site, the camera operator followed a regular side to side pattern as shown here. After traversing the site, they walked back through the middle to ensure strong loop closure. Note the full 360 degree turns used in the middle of the space to help with that closure. For reference, this capture took around 11 minutes.
Here is another example of mounting the camera to a monopod. In this case, the monopod was used to provide better visibility while maintaining a safe distance from the excavated pipe.
Origin and scale plates were placed in visible locations with low risk of being stepped on.
A full circuit around the excavation and surrounding environment was performed to ensure plenty of image coverage of important details.
