#DAHRG’s second workshop offers participants a chance to learn how to create three-dimensional models of objects through structure-from-motion (SfM) with Robert Kaleta (UCL).
SfM is an increasingly popular photogrammetric technique that allows its users to turn a set of photographs into a 3D model which can be explored further, shared online, or 3D printed. Many public institutions, cultural heritage organisations and outreach projects are increasingly relying on this technique to document, and open up their collections to a wider audience.
Booking information:
Places are limited. Please email Fern Insh – fern.insh@courtauld.ac.uk – to request a place.
Participants must have a confirmation email to attend this workshop.
The workshop covers:
- General introduction to structure-from-motion
- Data capture using a digital camera
- Common errors and problems with data collection
- Data processing using the leading commercial software (PhotoScan)
- Creating 3D models of objects provided by the Courtauld Institute of Art
- Exporting and sharing the models online
Requirements:
No previous experience is required. You will have to bring your own laptops with a trial version of PhotoScan installed (more details will be supplied to participants).
Digital cameras and tripods will be provided.
