Plowman Craven 3D have perfected the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the processes of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images.

Our digital and film based metric cameras have stable and precisely known internal geometries and very low lens distortions, thus allowing us to create rectified images and orthophotographs, in which images are rectified and combined to remove perspective effects. At Plowman Craven 3D we use digital workstations and analogue plotters to undertake the processing of stereophotogrammetry for full 3D restitution of structures and landscapes. Since the photography is essentially "non-contact," it provides a unique way of observing and recording information, without the requirement of a physical contact with the subject matter. Cameras provide the means to photograph dangerous or inaccessible subjects with little or no risk to equipment and personnel. We are adept at both aerial and terrestrial image capture and processing and have undertaken projects all over the United Kingdom, Europe and even further a field. Our professional photographers and technical staff use all their experience and the latest technology to meet the requirements of our clients in a cost affective manner, producing bespoke solutions in both 2D and 3D.

Photogrammetry is the cornerstone of the Plowman Craven 3D structure. Understanding image based 3D data capture has allowed us to seamlessly assimilate and integrate new 3D technology, as it has become available. However, Plowman Craven 3D still provide unparalleled quality photographic recording across the full spectrum of image based digital products. Whether you require rectified photographic images of a church tower, orthophotographs of large tracts of an urban landscape or intricate line work drawings of the ornate elevations of a Royal Palace from high resolution stereo photography, Plowman Craven 3D should be your first point of contact. Our firm foundations in terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry continue to underpin Plowman Craven 3D, enabling us to offer the complete range of geomatic techniques to all our clients. As a technology and a methodology it is as valid and relevant today as when it was first introduced by Aime Laussedat in the 19th Century. We therefore see absolutely no reason to move away from its proven value.
