3D Scanning using Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry converts photographs into 3D models. By analyzing multiple overlapping photos of an object, software reconstructs its exact shape and surface in three dimensions—creating a digital duplicate accurate enough for design, documentation, or production.

❋ Limitations

Where photogrammetry has a hard time is with reflective and transparent surfaces. The more textured and matte a surface is, the better it is at picking up High levels of detail

❋ Usage

By creating a point cloud and scanning a vessel, we can recover. The lines of the boat. Great for preservation and historical documentation

❋ Simulations

These point clouds and rendered models can be handed off to navel architect to run simulations for stability and seaworthiness

❋ Volumetric data

Another very useful application for this is volumetric. data. For example, scanning a fish hold to see its total volume. This can be done before and after a rebuild project to see how much volume has been gained.
