Photography for Structural Inspection
Field Craft and Image Management
Anyone involved in structural surveys will be aware of the pain of managing all the images you must take. How do you then locate, tag, and organise hundreds of similar photographs of brickwork, structures, masonry, and pipework? How do you use these to collate and write the report? so everyone can understand what you are trying to say.
And then there is the issue of taking good quality usable images in the first place. Challenging light conditions, brightly lit, or recording details hidden in the shadows.
Barry will be sharing over 40 years of technical photography and 3D digital capture experience from basic photography for recording through to advanced photogrammetry to LiDAR, precision metrology, and an introduction to advanced techniques such as RTL and cross polarisation, forensic techniques such macro focus stacking and 32-bit Photogrammetry and AI
