Capstone Breakdown


Multi-Patch Breakdown

What are we even doing?

The concept of this entire project is to find a faster and more efficient way to recreate a
accurate 3D model of a building, field, house, etc.

Group Members:

Austin Sullins, Jeremy Cousins, James Borders, Evan Brueggemann

Key Deliverable Items:


·                     Austin Sullins: Comparing, time, efficiency, and quality of a 3D image that was made by taking a blueprint of a building and inlaying it into CAD then transferring that into
ArcPro then overlaying as a multipatch.

·                     Jeremy Cousins: Creating an orthomosaic of the area of interest as a basemap to be overlayed for multipatch while using ArcPro to build 3D images 

·                     Evan Brueggemann: Creating a 3D model in Pix4D and transferring it into Arc

Pro as a Control comparison

·                     James Borders: Taking an advanced 3D model into a COLLADA file for

simulations or an OBJ file for a 3D view


Crew Resource Management (CRM):

Primary PIC: Jeremy Cousins - In charge of logging the flight in Measure and has the
final say while out in the field.

Secondary PIC: James Borders - In charge of collecting Metadata 

Primary VO: Austin Sullins and Evan Brueggemann - Communicate using Zello.
 Create our own communication language.


·                     Communication procedures will include:



·                                             Having a specific callsign so the VOs do not get confused


·                                             Using sayings such as “(callsign) has eyes” to keep the calls concise


·                                             Keep unnecessary chatter on the radio to a minimum


·                                             Run radio similar to the way the military runs their radio.


Data CollectionTimeline:

First data set collected by September 3rd

·                     Needs to fit the criteria of having an available blueprint and can have an orthomosaic created. Location TBD

All data collected by October 18th

·                     October 20th left as a possible flex week

All Process and Analysis done by October 27th

·                     This leaves us ample time to complete and perfect poster
