ARCHITECTURE // BUCKET TO GEOREFERENCED DELIVERABLES

S3 Bucket to Orthomosaic Processing Pipeline

Automated cloud-to-workstation ingest feeding our Casper, WY RTX 6000 ADA photogrammetry cluster.

01 // Cloud Storage Layer

S3 Bucket Storage (AWS)

  • Drone images stored in cloud bucket
  • RAW + metadata preserved
  • Scalable & secure ingest
02 // UAV Data Collection

Drone Imagery Input

  • High-res aerial nadir & oblique
  • Geotagged GPS/IMU coordinates
  • Overlapping for photogrammetry
03 // 3D Reconstruction

SfM Processing

  • Feature detection & matching
  • Camera pose estimation
  • Sparse cloud bundle adjustment
04 // Multi-View Stereo

Dense Cloud (MVS)

  • Multi-view stereo depth maps
  • High-density colored 3D point cloud
  • 3D surface reconstruction
05 // Georeferenced Output

Orthomosaic Output

  • Orthorectified 2D COG GeoTIFF map
  • DEM/DSM & CAD DXF generated
  • GIS-ready (QGIS, ArcGIS, Civil 3D)
