What if a series of ordinary photographs could become a 3D model or measurable digital record? In this workshop, participants learn the fundamentals of photogrammetry and apply them to a real-world subject.
No specialist background is required. Curiosity and a smartphone with a good camera are enough.
From photographs to form
This rotating digital model demonstrates the kind of three-dimensional output produced by processing overlapping photographs of an object.
