3D Modeling & Digital Twin Creation
Overview
3D drone modeling creates realistic digital replicas of construction sites, buildings, or terrain for visualization, design validation, and simulation. By stitching overlapping aerial images into textured 3D meshes, stakeholders gain a clear spatial understanding of ongoing projects. These digital twins facilitate progress tracking, defect detection, and virtual planning.
