3D Photogrammetric Model of Business Property in Statesboro for Future Modifications/Additions

Virtual

This work consists in a service project employing close-range photogrammetry to generate a three-dimensional, point-cloud model of a 4.7-acre commercial site, including two buildings of El Sombrero Restaurant, at 879 Buckhead Drive, Statesboro, GA. It is authored by two groups of Senior-Project students, one majoring in Civil/Construction Engineering and other in Construction Management, at Georgia Southern University. They completed this work as a service-learning project during the Fall-2019 academic term. The final model is donated to the owner of the mentioned restaurant to be used as a free and accurate virtual surveying tool to assist in the design of future modifications/additions to the existing structure, topography and surrounding parking areas. The resulting model could also serve as a marketing resource for the business. This project allowed students to learn state-of-the art techniques and, at the same time, provided them with opportunities to serve a member of the local community.
