How to generate a height map with CloudCompare
This should give you the basics to generate a heat map of height for a 3D model (in this case a fossil dinosaur footprint), using CloudCompare (One of my top choices of freely available software*). I’m going to assume you have a model correctly scaled, but not necessarily oriented to any specific world axis. The... Continue Reading →
Photogrammetry Testing: Doing it properly (by someone else)
If you've been following my vague attempts to try different pieces of photogrammetry software, I imagine you will be very interested indeed to read the following paper: Knapitsch et al 2017 (link to paper at the bottom of that page). The authors generate some lovely ground truth data with laser scanners, then record images with... Continue Reading →
