Training Results

Mastering photogrammetry is becoming increasingly crucial with the ubiquity of crash videos (surveillance, dash cams, Ring® doorbells, etc.) and cell phone photography, which is frequently used by both law enforcement and civilians to document vehicle damage and roadway evidence, even when measurements were not acquired. Most modern, complete reconstructions demand the use of photogrammetry; whether it’s used to accurately establish the speed of a vehicle from video, to diagram roadway evidence, or to model crush after a vehicle has been salvaged. Investing in your photogrammetry skillset will not only enhance your firm’s capabilities but also your career, empowering you to perform thorough analyses and deliver the most comprehensive reconstructions.

This course equips the reconstructionist with a solid understanding of photogrammetry and current techniques through review of literature, sample evidence, and extensive hands-on exercises. Attendees will learn to confidently:

Model exemplar vehicles
Measure crush when the vehicle is no longer available for inspection
Use scene photos to diagram roadway evidence
Integrate point clouds into their analyses
Establish vehicle speeds using video
Work with advanced features of PhotoModeler
Interpret PhotoModeler quality reports
Create compelling graphical exhibits
Testify to results

By the end of this course, you'll not only understand photogrammetry's fundamental principles but also how to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.
