All that equals paycheck security. Like most people, I never wanted a career, I just wanted a steady paycheck.

We do sorta the same thing, only different. We get in an airplane, fly to a site or a city that is built, and photograph it all is stereo and build a 3D point cloud of the everything on the ground. Then with lots of wiz-bang software and some tedium we draw out the outline of every object on the ground, and put them in a layer of like items. So all the building in one layer, all the bushes in another, curbs and street marking and fire plugs and utility poles, all get a layer. It is a full plan map of a location. They can then measure and plan for the future.
