Verified Photomontages

Accurate Visual Representations (AVR), or Verified Views, are digital images used in the construction industry to ensure that the completed building or structure matches the original design. They are created by taking a photograph of a building or structure and overlaying a digital rendering of the original design onto the photograph.

Taking Photos on Site

Photographic surveys capture visual context. High-resolution cameras, tripods, and lenses ensure quality. Consistency in framing and exposure is vital. Annotate photos with relevant details like date and time. Adapt to on-site challenges such as weather conditions and safety concerns. Georeference photos using survey data for accurate spatial alignment. Maintain version control for tracking changes over time.

Surveying

Surveying involves precise measurements and data collection on-site. Geodetic surveys establish accurate ground control points using GPS and total stations. Topographic surveys map physical features and elevations, providing crucial information for site understanding. Drone surveys offer aerial perspectives, capturing high-resolution imagery efficiently.

One of the tools we are using for getting the head start in the location analysis, is VU.CITY, a game-changing collaborative platform that combines digital twins of our cities with tools and data to support its users in creating, refining, and sharing the journey of city transformation to create the best possible city for all.

The resulting image shows the original design overlaid onto the actual building or structure, allowing builders and contractors to verify that the completed work matches the original design. This can be useful in identifying any discrepancies or errors before construction is complete, helping to reduce the risk of costly and time-consuming rework.
