Solution – School and Public Safety
OUR SOLUTIONS
About Sector
School, university and public sectors applying photogrammetry to create both the 2D/3D digital twins of their physical facilities to support the decision making of safety inspection, emergency response, and virtual management. Digital twins of public facilities remain a core and reliable reference for police and fire stations during emergency or adverse events.
Creating a virtual, living digital portfolio for school and university also unleashed a greater potential for virtual learning, virtual conference, virtual training or even virtual community. Once a virtual format of the school or university was created, people can also quickly move beyond the idea of virtual reality to mixed reality and augmented reality —- in which all of these has been applied in education to a certain extent even before the pandemic.
Data Collection
The Civetta is used to capture 360×180° HDR panorama images for indoor and outdoor areas, perfectly suitable for digitally replicating classrooms, hallway, physical buildings, and outdoor scenes. The VR tour and 3D models captured by the Civetta, including geographical location and measurement data, are essentials metadata for developing the digital twin portfolios. The I-Detics photogrammetry camera is used to develop a customised digital capture system for documents and historic files of the public sectors.
Data Management
All data captured can be stored and managed in the Visual Asset Management System VAM2. The system combines complex measuring techniques and advanced data processing with a user-friendly interface and various options for individual system customisation. The result is a highly flexible, high-performance system delivering easily understood condition information straight to the user. Along with the image and 3D models captured in the field, other digital assets are collectively managed in the Visual Asset Management System VAM2 provided by Weiss AG.
A comprehensive digital twin of the school, university or public facilities can be produced via the VAM2. A multidisciplinary group can work collaboratively to support the development and use of digital files. 2D/3D data of the institution can be captured over time for comparison, analysis and evaluation purposes.
Here are some of the assets that might be collected to create a digital twin for the platform.
3D point clouds and mesh model, with measurement data
360 HDR panorama image(JPG), with measurement data
Other high-resolution images of the scene and objects
DAMAGE OR Safety Evaluation Report and records
Inspection plan and floor plan(CAD, BIM)
Emergency response plan
Standardised videos and 360° videos
Audio
other office documents or media
digitalised and scanned files
Drone-fly through videos and images
