Sirovision Functionality

Creating Digital 3D Images

Sirovision, in conjunction with PixPro, provides you with the ability to undertake digital photogrammetry by processing digital images using a computer to produce a digital 3D model.

Digital photogrammetry utilises computer analysis to determine the spatial coordinates of individual or multiple points from two or more images. By integrating visual data with these spatially determined points, Sirovision can create a 3D map or representation. Sirovision facilitates the creation of such 3D images, ranging from small sections as small as a few square metres to large areas exceeding tens of thousands of square metres. Additionally, multiple 3D models can be combined to form a comprehensive 3D image of extended regions.

Sirovision enables the creation of 3D models from two suitable digital images. To generate a 3D model, a defined set of operations needs to be executed. Although the specific sequence of operations may vary based on data availability and user preferences, completing the entire process is essential for successful 3D model creation.

In photogrammetry, the determination of spatial location relies on triangulation in three dimensions using image data. At least two images, along with camera positions, orientations, and angular information of the points of interest, are required to perform triangulation. Sirovision encompasses all the functionality required to create a 3D model from two or more suitable digital images, facilitating the process of triangulation and subsequent image generation.

Mapping and Analysing Structures

Sirovision supports accurate analysis of 3D images of the surface of a rock mass to map and analyse discontinuity sets. This data can then be easily exported in a variety of formats to be used with other discontinuity analysis tools, such as MineScape.

Importing Data & Viewing images

Sirovision allows you to import 3D images and view them in a variety of formats such as textured 3D, 3D wireframe and as point cloud images. It also enables you to import one or multiple data files that can be added into a 3D image or simply viewed on their own on a stereonet.

Mapping Discontinuities

Sirovision enables you to map discontinuities such as planes and traces on any of these views. You can also map discontinuities across multiple 3D images or mosaics to analyse structure across large areas you choose.

Selecting Discontinuities

Once you have mapped your discontinuities onto your image, Sirovision allows you to select and categorise discontinuities and to generate analysis sets according to any criteria.

Analysing discontinuities

After you have selected the discontinuities that you want to analyse, Sirovision offers a number of discontinuity set analysis tools, such as stereonets, rose plots, spacing charts, persistence statistics and wedge detection.

Exporting Data

Sirovision can export data in a variety of file formats, making it inter-operable with other well-known discontinuity analysis software packages.
