Heritage building by Derek Golding - www.goldingarts.co.nz
"I've been using Areoscan for a few weeks now, long enough to realize the huge potential this software service has as a turnkey solution that will address the needs of a diverse range of businesses.
I'm creating a business to archive and record heritage buildings. The recent Quake [in Christchurch, New Zealand] has thrown into light the fragility of our infrastructure, our history. Archiving these locations with photos just isn't sufficient; I also need to provide accurate, quantifiable 3D data for my customers, which is exactly what Areoscan provides."

Close-up object - created by Areoscan programmer Dr Steven Mills
"Building 3D models of objects from images has long been a goal of computer vision. In recent years significant advances have been made in this field, and AreoScan brings together a number of state of the art algorithms in a convenient and easy to use service. This example shows the level of detail that can be achieved from just a few photographs."
Land survey of building site - created by Areoscan engineer Justin Reid
"Currently most people will use a laser dumpy to get measurements of the proposed building sight, gathering the data in a grid formation to get rough contours for elevation planning. Areoscan can be used to scan the sight using a standard digital camera, resulting in a dense series of points which lay on the surface of the site following all the contours of the ground. By creating thousands of these points, Areoscan builds up a comprehensive representation of the scene."
