Introduction to Photogrammetry 26-27 S1

This introductory course in photogrammetry will enable you to understand the significance, advantages, and limitations of photogrammetry.
It will provide you with the fundamental principles of photographic technique, allowing you to analyze the challenges posed by an object to be digitized and to determine the most appropriate image-capture strategy.

The course will then teach you how to optimize photographs using Darktable and RawTherapee in order to improve the subsequent processing stages and enhance the quality of the final 3D reconstruction.
Finally, it will enable you to master the different stages of photogrammetric reconstruction using RealityScan, including the computation of the point cloud, depth maps, mesh generation, and texture mapping.

Through the skills acquired during this course, you will be able to digitize objects efficiently and accurately using photogrammetry.

Teaching language: English and French
