3D Capture Crowdsourcing? Part 3

Part 3 of 3: CrewSourcing Applications and Benefits?

For remote assets of critical infrastructure, these assets may be visited for several reasons. Planned and scheduled maintenance, routine inspections, pre-engineering planning, post-engineering closeout, and contracted work visits are examples of this.? CrewSourcing allows any worker visiting a site to document and capture the data to generate a 3D model of the site or asset. Usually, the workers that are visiting the site have the best knowledge of the equipment at the site. The goal of CrewSourcing is to have the in-depth knowledge that field workers have and be able to transfer what they observe on-site to enterprise data systems. This benefits the asset owner in that they can have more up to date asset models or geographic information systems, they can make decisions on the latest information and, they don’t have to contract out 3D capture services which can reduce expenditures and speed up data collection.?

The challenges of managing distributed remote assets can be offset by using existing work crews visiting the site to capture the scene and document asset health, condition, and location. 3D models add spatial context to those assets. It doesn’t have to be a steep learning curve with expensive equipment and highly trained capture technicians anymore. Capture the wisdom of the people who know your remote assets best.
