ARF Photogrammetry Workshop

Colima Dog

Photogrammetry is an broad set of techniques that is now often used in combination with laser scanning for the production of high resolution 3-D models. At root, photogrammetry involves combining many overlapping photos where the camera position moves (structure from motion), generating a rich product that may include 3-D data or a seamless stitched single image. This workshop focuses on the photogrammetry side (not laser scanning).

Of particular interest to archaeologists are categories that include producing:

The Book of the Dead in 3D

The Book of the Dead in 3D aims at creating a database of 3D annotated models of decorated ancient Egyptian coffins. It shows how image-based 3D modeling software can help the visualization of ancient inscriptions in their own physical context and the way Egyptologists approach and record ancient Egyptian funerary texts.
