Generating high-resolution digital records of built and natural environments using cutting-edge 3D scanning, LiDAR, and photogrammetry.
Before data can be visualised or interpreted, it must be captured accurately. Our data capture research transforms messy physical reality into clean, structured digital representations — point clouds, meshes, and spatial datasets that form the foundation of everything downstream.
Data capture is the foundation of the INSIGHT pipeline. Without accurate, high-resolution capture, downstream simulation and AI systems cannot achieve the fidelity required for real-world deployment.
Hardware and processing pipelines we develop and deploy
Terrestrial and mobile LiDAR scanning of infrastructure, heritage sites, and industrial facilities. We process millions of data points into clean, structured point clouds ready for downstream use.
Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View Stereo pipelines extracting 3D geometry from overlapping 2D imagery captured by drones, ground vehicles, or handheld cameras.
Spherical imaging systems for complete environmental documentation — enabling virtual walkthroughs and spatial analysis of confined or hazardous spaces without physical access.
Automated pipelines for registering, cleaning, classifying, and compressing raw scan data — reducing noise, filling gaps, and structuring outputs for BIM, simulation, and AI training.
Millimetre-accurate 3D records of historic buildings, archaeological sites, and cultural artefacts — creating permanent digital archives for conservation and research.
Drone-deployed scanning of bridges, pipelines, offshore platforms, and wind turbines — detecting structural anomalies in environments too dangerous for manual inspection.
Spatial mapping of coastal erosion, flood plains, forestry, and terrain change over time using aerial and satellite-integrated LiDAR and photogrammetry workflows.
