Carlson PhotoCapture

Carlson PhotoCapture - Leading Photogrammetry Software Solution for Land Surveying, Mapping & Civil Construction projects

Carlson PhotoCapture is advanced photogrammetry software designed for surveyors, civil engineers, and construction professionals who need fast, accurate surface models and measurements from aerial or terrestrial imagery. Using advanced digital photogrammetry captured by RTK drones, mobile mapping, or 3D scanners, Carlson PhotoCapture transforms images into precise 3D point clouds, contours, and CAD-ready surfaces—without the complexity or cost of enterprise photogrammetry systems

Built to integrate seamlessly within the Carlson Software ecosystem, PhotoCapture enables AEC teams to extract reliable data for topographic mapping, site analysis, earthwork planning, and construction documentation

Turn Ortho Images into Accurate Survey Deliverables

Carlson PhotoCapture enables users to process overlapping photos and generate georeferenced 3D models suitable for professional surveying and construction workflows. By combining photogrammetry with optional ground control points (GCPs), surveyors can achieve survey-grade accuracy for a wide range of applications

Key outputs include:

• Dense 3D point clouds

• Digital terrain models (DTMs) and surfaces

• Contours and elevation data

• Orthophotos and scaled imagery

• CAD-ready deliverables compatible with Carlson IntelliCAD and AutoCAD® platforms

Ideal for Surveyors, Civil & Construction Professionals

Carlson PhotoCapture is trusted across the AEC industry for applications such as:

• Topographic surveys and site mapping

• Construction progress documentation

• Earthwork planning and volume calculations
