PROJECT / 002 · Ontario hospital site — public naming pending approval
Hospital Existing-Conditions Reality Capture — Orthomosaic & 3D
One aerial acquisition of an Ontario hospital site produced both a top-down orthomosaic and a three-dimensional model of the site.

Mission requirement
What did the project team need to understand?
Elev8 completed an existing-condition digital capture of the hospital site. The acquisition was designed to produce both a measurable top-down image and a three-dimensional record from the same flight.
- 01Capture existing site conditions on a known date
- 02Produce a georeferenced top-down orthomosaic of the site
- 03Produce a three-dimensional model of the same site
- 04[OWNER INPUT REQUIRED — confirm the acquisition purpose as stated by the requesting party]
Operating environment
The site determines the acquisition strategy.
Only conditions Elev8 can confirm are described here.
- Footprint
- Single contiguous institutional site
- Setting
- Developed context adjacent to the site
- Operations
- Active facility — ground coordination required
Site location is shown generalized. Precise coordinates are not published.
Mission design
Capture was designed around the required output.
Aerial imagery
USEDOverlapping photographic coverage was flown across the site.
Orthomosaic
USEDNadir coverage was processed into a single top-down georeferenced image of the site.
3D reality capture
USEDThe same acquisition was reconstructed into a three-dimensional model.
RTK / GNSS
NOT USEDNot confirmed for this project. It is not claimed until verified.
LiDAR
NOT USEDLiDAR was not used on this acquisition.
Thermal
NOT USEDNot part of this project scope.
Capture was designed so a single flight could produce two different forms of site intelligence.

Textured reality model of the site environment.
Project outputs
One acquisition. Multiple usable datasets.
ORTHOMOSAIC
Top-down georeferenced image of the site.
3D MODEL
Three-dimensional visual record of the site environment.
AERIAL IMAGERY
Source imagery captured during the acquisition.
Application
What was used, and what a dataset like this could support.
Project use — actual
- The project created both a top-down spatial record and a three-dimensional visual record of the site.
Dataset potential — not client use
- Existing-condition documentation for a dated baseline
- Site context for coordination between stakeholders
- Spatial context for GIS or CAD workflows
- Comparison against a future capture of the same site
Potential applications only. Not performed on this project.
Professional responsibility
Data acquisition and professional interpretation are separate responsibilities.
Elev8 Visions performed the aerial acquisition and the agreed processing. Engineering, professional surveying, certification and regulated technical conclusions remain with the appropriate qualified professionals.
Operational lessons
What this project taught us.
Lesson 01
Two outputs, one mobilization
Planning the ortho and the 3D reconstruction together means overlap and altitude are set once, and the site only has to be flown once.
Lesson 02
The ortho is what non-technical reviewers read first
A measurable top-down image is immediately legible to people who will never rotate a 3D model.
Result
What existed after the field team left.
The project created both a top-down spatial record and a three-dimensional visual record of the site as it existed on the capture date.
