Skyline’s PhotoMesh fully automates the generation of highresolution, textured, 3D mesh models from standard 2D photographs, offering a significant reduction in cost and time compared to traditional modeling methods. PhotoMesh’s breakthrough technology is based on the highest-performance photogrammetry, computer vision, and computational geometry algorithms. Combining any number of photographs, in a wide range of formats and resolutions, PhotoMesh generates highly-detailed 3D models that can be viewed and queried using TerraExplorer or other 3D, GIS products. PhotoMesh employs elaborate tiling mechanisms to efficiently handle projects with even hundreds of thousands of photos. Running on standard hardware, PhotoMesh can also exploit computer clusters and cloud computing to accelerate database creation. A single project can run simultaneously on hundreds of fuser machines, each processing different build steps and communicating with PhotoMesh Manager.

TerraExplorer is designed with interoperability and flexibility at its core, allowing you to build and share geospatial projects quickly and easily: a cutting-edge 3D GIS desktop viewer and creator that provides powerful tools and a high resolution 3D environment in which to view, query, analyze and present geospatial data. With TerraExplorer’s robust and extensive capabilities and ever-increasing interoperability, stunningly realistic 3D visualizations can be created by overlaying the terrain with unlimited data layers: imagery, elevation, features, 3D mesh, 3D models, BIM, CAD, LiDAR point cloud, your own custom data, virtual objects and more. Powerful measurement, terrain analysis, line of sight, change detection/comparison and spatial analysis tools make it easy to extract vital intelligence from your geospatial data. View and inspect your PhotoMesh 3D models (tower, bridge, construction site, etc.) from within TerraExplorer, together with the source photos used to produce them.
