Glopho – Photogrammetry Software

Glopho is a powerful photogrammetry software that works in tandem with Scantech’s 3D measurement equipment to perform precise coordinate measurements of medium- to large-scale objects. It incorporates photogrammetry, real-time display, scale bar management, data analysis, and working environment detection into one simple interface to navigate the measuring with ease. It has a wide range of uses, including automotive, rail transport, and shipbuilding, as well as power generating and heavy industry.

Metrology professionals can use Glopho to stitch precise 3D coordinates of targets and scale bars from photographs taken from various angles. These targets provide a stable backbone structure for future 3D scanning, reducing alignment errors that accrue over distances. Its powerful algorithm and architecture allow for measuring accuracy of up to 0.012 mm/m.

High precision

Glopho provides a complete toolkit for all photogrammetry workflows, including advanced operational procedure design and a simple user interface. Because of its advanced algorithms, its coordinate measurement accuracy can reach 0.012 mm/m. It can automatically remove targets with a high RMS error from calculations, improving accuracy. With solid performance in photogrammetry, it is capable of managing the requirements of medium-to-large-scale parts.

Intelligent indication

The interface displays all shooting information intuitively, including shooting distance, shooting angles, and the amount of photos taken. Users can intuitively monitor the shooting status by using coded targets and scale bars in five colors to indicate different levels of data gathering. When errors occur, intelligent indicators appear. As a result, users may modify their shooting angles or re-shoot targets that do not have enough shooting angles to achieve high precision.

Movable and customized scale bars

To improve efficiency and precision, Glopho allows for the use multiple scale bars as a datum when gathering data for objects longer than 3 meters. After capturing and saving the data for a scale bar, users can opt to relocate it to a different position. This way, precision can be improved without the need for additional scale bars. Glopho is compatible with customized scale bars as well as those that are not included with it, which contributes to its incredible flexibility.

Adaptor for feature measurement

It allows for simple signaling using standard and custom adaptors for feature measuring. When the photogrammetry process is completed, technicians and engineers can acquire geometric details of the workpiece such as the hole boundaries and center. It is perfect for measuring inspection tools, sheet metal holes, and cylindrical parts, increasing measurement efficiency on large parts.

User-friendly operation

Glopho displays the entire shooting process on the interface, allowing users to troubleshoot any potential problems. It helps them to resume interrupted tasks by importing project files with a single click. Users can utilize its operating environment diagnostic tool to determine whether their computer configuration matches the required specifications. It comes with a simple user interface that users can personalize by selecting from a variety of layout options.
