Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a technique that combines several pictures of a person or an object into a 3D model. This can be used for multiple purposes such as movie production, making scientific models for 3D printing, product design and more. Even if photogrammetry can be very useful it has a lot of drawbacks. In this series I am going to shear some of my experience from photogrammetry.
Photogrammetry step 1 – something simple
Photogrammetry step 2 – a 3D model
Photogrammetry step 3 – masking from model
Photogrammetry step 4 – Preparing a model for upload
Photogrametry step 5 – Using stacked pictures
One of the goals with this series of tutorials is to show how to make a 3D model of a smaler subject using stacked pictures. Below is an example with a fossil of a trilobite. Trilobite (Flexicalymene retrorsa) Ordovicium 440-490 m.years Arnheim formation Mt. Orab, Ohio, USA. The trilobite is 37mm long. I used 56 camera positions, more than 2000 photos, Canon 6D, Canon MP-E 65 at 2X, Cognisys StackShot and Zerene Stacker.
