The iSTAR 360° camera in combination with the iSTAR Measurement Module provides a solution for rapid and intuitive point-to-point measurement based on photogrammetric techniques using pairs of panoramas with a known offset, directly within the immersive workspace. iSTAR can rapidly provide HDR 360° images automatically in just one shot and can be set to capture a single exposure, five or up to nine exposures automatically. A project was undertaken to establish the optimal workflow and to evaluate the level of accuracy that can be
expected at different measurement distances and orientations.

 

The NCTech iSTAR camera combined with the NCTech Measurement Module provides the possibility of measuring directly within an immersive panorama workspace. This capability to rapidly capture the environment and then measure later is ideally suited to situations requiring rapid measurement, while avoiding the need to remember all the desired measurements when on site.
