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 8: COLMAP
Here's the original post, and links to all posts I think I've found a new favourite photogrammetry software! Available here: http://people.inf.ethz.ch/jschoenb/colmap/, I actually came across it when I followed back referral to my own site to this thread on Sketchfab, where Mesheritage mentioned COMAP - so full thanks to them! COLMAP has an excellent documentation available... Continue Reading →
Photogrammetry testing 7: SMVS (+MVE)
Here's the original post, and links to all posts I have previously outlined my goal of testing multiple photogrammetry solutions on a single dataset, and reporting times and results. I'm using a dataset based on photographs of this Styracosaurus model (I've had it since I was quite young): The dataset has 53 photos in total,... Continue Reading →
