The Making of Verified Views

Part 1 – Survey Photography

In this section we will have a look behind the scenes at survey photography, one of the processes that goes into creating the perfect 3D model for verified views. Our team follow a strict set of guidelines, provided by the Landscape Institute, to ensure all our verified views and photomontages are of the highest quality and accuracy.

At Urban3D, we have been providing verified views and CGI’s to assist planning applications for over 20 years. Our portfolio ranges from large-scale commercial property developments to single private luxury residential.

If you have an upcoming venture that requires verified views we’d love to hear from you.

Process

For more information see below

01 Mapping Locations

The first process in surveying for verified views is to plot the locations of all the required verified view survey points on the map and the direction that the shot needs to be taken in.

02 Getting On Location

Once the locations are finalised, the survey photographer travels to the site and locates the survey location and viewpoint.

03 Equipment Set Up

Once the equipment has been set up, a thorough check is carried out to ensure tripod height, lense height, and camera level are all correct.

04 Marking The Survey Locations

A survey spray paint is used to mark the location and direction of each of the survey points.

05 Capturing The Image

The initial survey photo is taken, then keeping the camera level there is a further 3 photos taken each to the left and right of the initial survey photo, which lets us capture the subject site across the horizontal axis.

06 Survey Photo

Once the onsite photography is complete we study the photo and select a number of fixed reference points.

07 Marking The Structural Points

The fixed reference points are marked on the photograph. A number of fixed points within the foreground, midground and background are used to ensure accuracy
