BLK3D

A compact, all-in-one photogrammetry tool.

The BLK3D combines a calibrated stereo camera, measurement sensors, software, and on-device edge detection capabilities to make in-picture measurements with professional-grade accuracy. Every image captured is a complete and precise 3D measurement record.

Measure in picture for fast, accurate results.

The BLK3D is designed to make your measurements faster and easier to take within any picture you can capture with the device. It will help you fully document your work, including as-built conditions and project progress.

Description

A smart, simple, and easy-to-use tool for photogrammetry.

The BLK3D—similar to a smartphone in shape, size, and operation—uses advanced algorithms for edge detection and measuring within 2D pictures. The touchscreen interface is user-friendly and powerful with precise photogrammetry at your fingertips.

Multiple functions with advanced technology.

As part of an everyday kit, professionals can make faster decisions within their daily workflows—whether measuring inaccessible locations, creating floor plans, estimating building installations, documenting construction site progress or creating measurable, as-built documentation.

Access, organize, share, and store images.

Store images on the device or use USB-C or WLAN to transfer images and data to your computer. Organize your projects by tagging measurable images with searchable keywords for easy recall and share them in multiple formats.
