The May-June 2006 workshop has concluded. Although the next workshop is not yet scheduled, it will likely take place in May or early June 2007. When more information is available, it will be posted here.
Photogrammetry tutorial
Learn to use modern digital photogrammetry to create scaled, oriented 3D models of natural and manufactured objects from ground-based and low-aerial camera images. The user is in control of the entire process, including project planning, image acquisition, and execution. Trained users can create a usable 3D model in just a few hours.
This three-day, hands-on tutorial will be held in the CU-Boulder Engineering Center. It is intended for those with little-to-no prior experience in photogrammetry and uses EOS PhotoModeler 5.2 software on classroom computers.
Simple example movie.
To see a simple model created in PhotoModeler by beginning students, view a 20-second 3D model movie of a photographed table (0.5 Mb, requires version 6+ of the free QuickTime player).
