Revolutionary new software ensures expedited creation of precision-crafted 3D models with significantly reduced processing times.
SPH Engineering introduces Circlegrammetry, a groundbreaking photogrammetry software poised to revolutionize the way drone operators acquire insights for 3D modeling and mapping. Developed to address the unique challenges faced by drone operators, Circlegrammetry aims to revolutionize aerial mapping projects by significantly boosting their precision, speed, and efficiency.
A New Flight Sample
Professional-grade drone photogrammetry commonly relies on meticulously planned grid or double-grid flight paths to ensure optimal data capture and precision in subsequent 3D modeling outputs. These labour-intensive approaches may necessitate a significant amount of time to capture every essential perspective, ultimately yielding more simplistic three-dimensional designs. Circumgyrmetry employs a novel approach by defining elliptical flight trajectories, with digital camera angles calibrated within a precise range of 45 to 70 degrees relative to the central axis of each orbit. This groundbreaking approach enables the capture of additional perspectives with reduced flight durations.
“Circling the issue, SPH Engineering’s innovative algorithm disrupts traditional drone-based imaging acquisition.”
By flying in circular patterns rather than grids, drones are able to capture data from additional angles, thereby ensuring greater accuracy in 3D modeling. This system excels at efficiently mapping complex geometries and vertical structures.
Effectivity Good points
One significant advantage of Circlegrammetry lies in its ability to significantly reduce flight instances. Drones equipped to follow circular flight paths are capable of gathering information significantly faster than those employed in traditional grid-based operations. The increased efficiency resulting from overlapping orbits enables pilots to complete their duties more expeditiously without compromising on quality.
According to SPH Engineering, Circlegrammetry enables faster flight schedules while preserving high-quality data by minimizing the need for grid-based missions.


With reduced flight durations, Circlegrammetry also minimizes the collection of redundant data, thereby decreasing the post-flight processing burden. Few overlapping photos significantly reduce processing times, accelerating the entire workflow from data capture to final model generation.
Adapting to Low Altitudes
Conventional drone flight strategies often struggle when navigating at low elevations, especially in environments replete with obstacles such as dense foliage or urban structures. Circular geometry enables drones to operate safely at lower altitudes while still capturing high-quality data. While SPH Engineering acknowledges that double-grid indirect methods often enable outdoor drone flights by avoiding obstacles, this approach may not always be feasible. With Circlegrammetry, it is possible to gather precise information from as low as 20 meters above ground level, eliminating the risk of collision.
A versatile tool with immeasurable value across numerous sectors.
Circlegrammetry holds significant promise for applications such as development, environmental monitoring, and asset inspection, where precise data acquisition is crucial. Whether utilising a development web site for monitoring or navigating a dense forest, this software offers significant advantages over traditional approaches.
The UgCS 5.5 software release now features the software, with SPH Engineering inviting drone operators to experience the benefits of Circlegrammetry through a complimentary trial.
“Experience the transformative power of this revolutionary software through a free trial, witnessing firsthand how it elevates drone photogrammetry to deliver faster, more accurate results,” invites SPH Engineering.
