This workshop will offer hands-on photogrammetry training in which we will take a physical object, create a virtual model of that object, and prepare that object both for display online and for 3D printing. The workshop will be divided into three, one-hour long sessions with breaks between each session:
Session 1: Intro to Photogrammetry. In this first session we will cover the technology behind turning a series of photographs into a virtual model. At the end of this session, we will make sure all participants have installed the two-week free trial of the software we will be using for the remainder of the workshop: Agisoft Photoscan.
Participants are advised to bring the following: a laptop, a mouse, and a digital camera. (DSLR cameras are not required--smartphone cameras will work fine for this workshop.)
Everyone will need to download the 30-day trial version of Agisoft PhotoScan available here:
