Extending the arduino photogrammetry setup to turn the turntable by an arbitrary amount, then trigger an android phone and a DSLR, then move the turntable again and repeat.
Extending my Automated Arduino photogrammetry setup to include a DSLR
The best free software for editing and cleaning (decimating and retopologizing) meshes and 3D data [2020]
Working with photogrammetry, laser scanning, and all the other techniques I dabble with/intimately rely on, I generate a lot of 3D data. For the most part that data is usually very high resolution, and often quite noisy and in need of cleaning up. I want to detail here some of the software I've come across... Continue Reading →
Automating photogrammetry – 3D printing, an Arduino, and an Android phone
[edit] - I later built on this post and extended the setup considerably here. Photogrammetry is awesome, and there’s a whole bunch of papers and software out there that mean you can do it for free. But taking 100’s of photos can be a pain. I’ve been eyeing up ways of automating this for a... Continue Reading →
The new ‘select object’ tool in Photoshop 2020 is a lifesaver for photogrammetry
Using the new 'Select Object' tool in photoshop to very quickly clean up photogrammetry data.

Photogrammetry Testing – Reality Capture [commercial software]
Photogrammetry Testing: Reality Capture [Disclosure: I asked Capturing Reality for a temporary license to access the full version so I could test it and export models, they kindly agreed and gave me a 1 month license. This in no way affects my review] Ok, let’s get this out of the way – Reality Capture is... Continue Reading →
Photogrammetry testing – Commercial software incoming
This is something of a pre-series post, explaining that over the coming weeks I'll be reviewing commercial photogrammetry software.
Small object photogrammetry – how to take photos
I get a lot of contacts asking what's wrong with their software, and usually the answer is that the photos don't have good overlap, or differing backgrounds. Sometimes I get directly asked how to take the photos, and certainly my students carrying it out for the first time need to be shown how to take... Continue Reading →
