Prerequisites

Introduction: What Is Extended Matrix?

Overview

The four-phase EM workflow: creating data, managing data, enriching data, and exporting data. EM can start from various sources — historical photos, drawings, 3D surveys — but 3D models are the ideal starting point.

Key Concepts

  • The four phases: Create → Manage → Enrich → Export.

  • EM works with any source: historical photos, drawings, geophysical data, or 3D surveys.

  • 3D models are the ideal starting point because they are the most information-rich.

  • A playground dataset is available to practise with each workflow step.
