Photogrammetry and Construction
With file sizes getting larger and larger, you need software to view and utilize the data. Not everyone has workstations, and it is not feasible to expect the end-user to purchase something for short use. With Optelos, we are sharing data with end-users and giving them a system to utilize the information without needing their own special GIS/CAD software to use the information.
Sharing full-resolution models, point clouds, orthos, PDF, CAD, Word, or any information with our clients through a single system enables a more collaborative working relationship.
Pros
One of the best things is the flexibility to use the best tool for the given scenario. Sometimes photogrammetry isn't feasible, but Optelos offers location intelligence systems that cover all bases by pulling metadata from photos and files—allowing you to use visual data to complete your work as necessary.
Cons
The most significant limitations come from using the models for measuring and annotations. The point cloud is the primary tool you utilize to measure and annotate, and while it is more accurate. There is a time and place that I would prefer the model.
Response from Optelos
Thank you for your positive review of the Optelos software and your feedback regarding its scope, flexibility and accuracy. We certainly understand your desire to complete measurements on mesh models ("models") in addition to pointcloud models, as mesh models often appear more photorealistic and offer additional visual detail (although Optelos creates pointcloud models that can rival mesh models). As you surmised, the Optelos platform restricts measurements to pointcloud models due to their inherent accuracy. Pointcloud models consist of millions of mutually-referenced data points that offer up to 1 mm accuracy, which mesh models cannot provide to any degree.

The Next Generation in Roofing Companies
We have become more efficient with our estimating and project managment with optelos. Faster and more accurate estimates. Better prep with the operations team. Less mistakes in estimating and in the field. As we continue through projects the data keeps building on itself. It's so cool to look back at everything come the end of a project to see exactly how we progressed. If we did make a mistake, it's easily indentified and corrected as the software ensures the whole team is on the same page.
Pros
We had been experimenting with 3D modeling of buildings and drone software for a while and had a problem...How does one share files that are upwards of 50GB and they are not in a file format that most people can run on their average computers. In comes Optelos! This cloud based software provides a seamless environment for us to share our visual data internally and externally. The location intelligence makes going through hundreds of pictures from jobsites a thing of the past. We know where we want to look and Optelos presents everything based on GPS coordinates....even pictures from your iPhone!
Cons
Due to the software being so robust, it looks a little overwhelming at first sight. No worries though. It only takes about an hour or so to master the basic navigation of the software. Also, one must realize they are likely not going to use every feature in their business model.

It took a few tutorials sent by the company and IT help to answer our questions - once learned it is valuable but takes a bit of exploration to understand it.
Pros
File organization and annotations are helpful
Cons
Interface could be a bit clearer as to where tools are and ease of use.

Structural Review Perspective
It has been great so far and we are exciting about furthering out partnership with Optelos as we continue to grow out global structural integrity program.
Pros
Overall ease of use, Quality of rendering, reporting, tagging videos
Cons
***It would be handy to provide a simple path for uploading rendered 3D images there were rendered locally that could be shared using the optelos platform. This adds flexibility on the end user for allowing different work flow availability

Essential tool for distributed asset management
Options provided us the tool to effectively monitor our own assets but also to serve a variety of industries with a single product. Tackling the Oil and Gas, Telecom, Power, and Renewables industry with one product is an amazing capability.
Pros
The ability to visualize, combine and annotate a variety of data sets all in one platform is essential to be able to maintain effective asset management. Easy of using digital twin as a base for the digital report is very unique to Optelos and creates a singular space that can be co-shared with finance, maintenance, operations, and many other teams.
Cons
The lack of ability to work with DTM and DSM models.
