SiteSee

SiteSee ensures that engineering and design teams can visualise any site safely from their workstations, away from the hazards of the plant.

The process commences with AAMHatch collecting a series of stationary spherical images. Numerous overlapping photographs are acquired and then stitched together using feature matching algorithms, similar to those found in aerial photogrammetric software packages. The resulting images are colour-balanced to produce finished spherical products that are seamless.

Teams viewing SiteSee can be based anywhere in the world. Various viewing platforms, including web-enabled viewers, increase the flexibility and accessibility of these visualisation datasets. SiteSee enables virtual walkthroughs of the plant by hyper-linking each spherical photograph within the SiteSee system. Powerful zoom functionality is another feature of the high resolution imagery featured in SiteSee.

Each image in SiteSee can be tied to a CAD file of the project area to provide a point-and-see capability. If a general arrangement of the site is not readily available, the virtual walk-through will be tied into the orthophotography or other imagery of the plant or target area. This convergence of technologies is another example of how AAMHatch’s full service approach delivers integrated spatial solutions.
