Mapping the Unseen in 3D: UAI's Photogrammetry

Dive into the world of precision inspection with Underwater Acoustics International (UAI) in our podcast, "Measuring Change Over Time." Discover how UAI sets industry-leading baselines using advanced 3D data collection techniques, including Laser Scanning, LiDAR, multibeam sonar, and underwater photogrammetry. Learn how these detailed 3D point cloud models, visualized through Autocad Revit with vibrant color-coded shading, enable precise comparisons to track changes over time. This critical analysis empowers clients to meet regulatory requirements from governing bodies like FERC, with inspections mandated every 1 to 5 years, while supporting proactive remediation and predictive maintenance planning. Join us to explore the technology and impact of UAI’s innovative approach to underwater and above-water infrastructure monitoring.

Welcome to the premiere of Mapping the Unseen in 3D, where Underwater Acoustics International (UAI) takes you on an exciting journey into the world of underwater photogrammetry. In this inaugural episode, we dive into the cutting-edge techniques UAI uses—combining sonar, LiDAR, and photogrammetry—to create precise 3D models of submerged structures like hydroelectric dams. Explore the technology behind the scenes, hear about UAI’s groundbreaking Wishon Dam inspection, and get a glimpse of what lies ahead as we map the depths like never before. Join us for the start of an innovative exploration beneath the waves!
