Ground Reality Capture

Document the Parts of a Property You Cannot See From the Air

Interior and ground-level reality capture creates an immersive, measurable visual record of buildings, construction sites, commercial properties, and existing conditions.

A Complete View From the Ground

Aerial imagery provides valuable site-wide context, but many important project conditions exist inside buildings, beneath structures, along façades, and at ground level. Aerial Insights combines 360° imagery, Matterport reality capture, and structured ground documentation to create detailed records of spaces that traditional aerial capture cannot fully document.

Ground Reality Capture Capabilities

Ground-based capture can be used independently or combined with aerial documentation to create a more complete record of a property or project.

Matterport Digital Twins

Interactive 3D property documentation allows teams to virtually revisit a space after the field capture is complete.

  • Interactive digital twins
  • Interior walkthroughs
  • Commercial property documentation
  • Construction documentation
  • Existing-condition records
  • Remote site review

Interior Reality Capture

Detailed interior documentation creates a permanent visual reference of rooms, mechanical spaces, equipment areas, corridors, and building conditions.

  • Interior 360° capture
  • Mechanical and utility spaces
  • Existing-condition documentation
  • Renovation documentation
  • Construction progress
  • Pre-demolition records

Exterior Ground Documentation

Ground-level imagery captures details that may be hidden or difficult to evaluate from aerial imagery alone.

  • Building exteriors
  • Façades and entrances
  • Site conditions
  • Parking and pavement
  • Utilities and equipment
  • Adjacent property conditions

Matterport Reality Capture

Matterport creates navigable 3D digital twins that allow owners, contractors, facility teams, and project stakeholders to remotely review a property as if they were physically onsite.

For projects requiring more advanced spatial capture, Matterport Pro3 capability is available to support interior and exterior documentation, larger commercial spaces, construction environments, and improved dimensional reference.

  • Interactive 3D walkthroughs
  • Interior and exterior capture
  • Spatial measurements
  • Remote collaboration
  • Digital property records
  • Commercial and construction applications

Pro3 Project Capability

Matterport Pro3 capture can be deployed for projects requiring higher-detail spatial documentation, larger-area scanning, exterior capture, or more advanced reality-capture requirements. Equipment and workflow are matched to the needs of each project.

Where Ground Reality Capture Adds Value

A structured ground record can preserve conditions, reduce repeat site visits, improve remote collaboration, and provide useful visual context long after work has progressed.

Construction Progress

Capture interiors, mechanical areas, finishes, installed systems, and work-in-place conditions throughout construction.

Existing Conditions

Preserve a detailed record before renovation, demolition, construction, tenant improvements, or property modifications.

Commercial Real Estate

Document buildings and spaces for acquisitions, leasing, facility records, property management, and remote review.

Facility Documentation

Create visual references of equipment rooms, utilities, maintenance areas, assets, and facility layouts.

Preconstruction Documentation

Record interior and exterior conditions before work begins to establish a baseline for later comparison.

Remote Project Review

Give project stakeholders access to visual site information without requiring every review to involve another field visit.

A Structured Capture Workflow

Ground reality capture becomes much more useful when it is collected consistently and organized around the needs of the project.

01 / PLAN

Define the Areas

Identify spaces, assets, conditions, and documentation requirements before capture begins.

02 / CAPTURE

Document the Site

Collect structured 360°, Matterport, and conventional ground imagery throughout the required areas.

03 / ORGANIZE

Build the Record

Organize captured data into accessible project records, walkthroughs, imagery, and supporting documentation.

04 / REVISIT

Compare Over Time

Repeat capture as needed to document progress, changes, completed work, or long-term property conditions.

Capture the Site Beyond the Drone View

Aerial Insights can build a ground reality capture workflow around construction, commercial property, existing-condition documentation, facility records, or recurring project needs.
