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 3d models. At root, photogrammetry involves combining many overlapping photos where the camera position moves (structure from motion) and generating a rich product that may include 3d 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.
