Accurate, Quick, Affordable

Diagramming and Modeling

of Scenes and Vehicles

Using the award-winning PhotoModeler ®

Create diagrams and take accurate measurements from your photographs.

Applications in accident reconstruction, forensics, 3D modeling of vehicles,
and crush measurement. Use your own camera or reconstruct from
unknown cameras (bystanders, adjusters, and archived imagery).

Windows software for close-range photogrammetry:

the science of measuring from photographs

How PhotoModeler Works

1. Take and load photos
Take one or more photos with your camera and load them into
PhotoModeler as digital files. Photographs from other sources can be used
too. Many projects are done with 3 or more photos but certain types can
be done with a single photo.
2. Mark and Process
Using the point, line, curve, and shapes tools mark the features you want
modeled on the photos using your mouse. Use image zoom to see details.
Open multiple photos and using the referencing tool, tell PhotoModeler
which features are the same across photos. PhotoModeler’s advanced 3D
algorithms will run to produce an accurate 3D representation.
3. View, Measure and Export
View the results in the 3D Viewer. Use the Measure tool or the Tables to
see 3D coordinates, lengths, angles, or area measurements. Export to your
CAD or rendering program. Export perspective-corrected textures and
ortho-photos.
Powerful tools and features to help you create accurate models
• Use any type of camera - digital, film or video
• Powerful, automated camera calibration function plus field calibration
• Work with multiple photos at once and add new photos to your project at any time
• Zoom and pan photos for accurate marking and referencing
• Easy-to-use and configurable user interface
• View the diagram or 3D model as it is being built and after completion with the
interactive, dynamic 3D Viewer
• Create points, lines, cylinders, edges, shapes (such as rectangle, box, wedge, etc.),
curves and surfaces (boundary, loft, revolution, cone, point cloud, etc.)
• Use sub-pixel target marking for high accuracy, and automation if desired
• View accurate 3D coordinate point locations, distances, areas and volumes with the
Measure tool
• Offset Points provide an accurate method for using Evidence Markers
• Optional Coded Targets Module: automated target recognition; for automating crush
measurement or interior scene modeling
• Export your diagrams and 3D models to popular 3rd party diagramming and
reconstruction tools using one of many file formats (including DXF (2D & 3D), 3DS
(3D Studio), CSV, KML/KMZ (Google Earth), and VRML (1 & 2))

PhotoModeler’s Applications
Incident Diagramming Scene Reconstruction
• Use existing photographs to recreate a scene
• MAIT - use your digital camera to photograph from the past
existing scenes • Combine with recent photos from your own
• One of the fastest and safest ways to document a camera and/or use photos from archives,
scene; allowing rapid scene clearing bystanders, adjusters, and the police
• Use control data from surveys to accurately
• Complete the diagramming and
tie in photographs from unknown and
measurements in the comfort of
uncalibrated cameras
home base
• Measurements can be double- • Produce 2D diagrams as well as 3D models - use surface draw
checked or added any time and ortho-photo export for that ‘birds-eye’ view
afterwards • Even extract data from a single photograph of a scene

Crush Measurement Forensics

• Extract crush depths and profiles from • Create diagrams of forensic and crime scenes
photographs that might be impossible otherwise using your camera
• Use your own camera as a cost-effective and • Provide 3D data for trajectory and
efficient survey tool for extracting crush profiles splatter analysis
• Compare crush data extracted from photographs • Work with photos and images from
with exemplar uncrushed vehicles unknown/uncalibrated cameras (such as
• Enter data into your crash analysis software for surveillance video) to find suspect
accurate results heights, or positions of evidence
