3D Technology

The Science of Golf!

3D Golf Course™ technology allows the golfer to visualize, strategize and commit to their planned golf approach. We specialize in integrating our high resolution 3D GPS, imagery and terrain data into various geospatial technolgy environments. These include the Apple iPhone and Google Android, Golf Cart Navigation Systems and indoor, Golf Simulation Systems.

Our 3D mapping patent, outlines and requires the use of topography and elevation (xyz) in the production of our 3D Golf Course technology. Terrain  and topography are vital features in the production of  golf course mapping and golf course navigation systems. Our 3D mapping and geodetic specifications for horizontal and vertical accuracies, require us to use airborne photogrammetry (georeferenced and GPS controlled aerial photography).

Our decision to use high resolution imagery vs. artist drawings was simple. We did not want false, landscape creations or artist renditions. We wanted the clearest and most accurate solution, therefore, we fell back on our geospatial expertise and chose aerial photogrammetry. Furthermore, our decision to implement the photogrammetric sciences, allows us to produce very accurate, 3D terrain and 3D object models of every golf course we map… clearly the best solution for our industry.

With every 3D Golf Course project, we fly each course using the Microsoft Ultra Cam, perform a field GPS survey using Leica HDS, terrestrial LiDAR scanners, and geoprocess each 3D terrain and imagery model for maximum horizontal and vertical accuracies.
