Skills Course Structure From Motion (Photo-based 3D modelling of archaeological artifacts)

Learn how to make 3D models of archaeological artifacts, using digital photographs.

26 September 2019

Photo-based modeling has quickly become a standard practice in archaeology. The technique allows for rapid 3D digitization of landscapes, trenches, features and artefacts. However, different subjects require different strategies. The workshop teaches techniques and best practices regarding 3D modeling archaeological artefacts, and deals with the following subjects:

– photo camera properties and settings

– lighting conditions and lighting setups

– software and principles of automated photogrammetry

– scaling and exporting the model

– approaches to different types of objects and material properties

Students are requested to bring their own laptops. We will work in groups of 3 or 4. Each group is required to have one laptop. If you bring a laptop make sure to install a trial version of Metashape, the software we will be working with: https://www.agisoft.com/downloads/request-trial/

There is a limited number of places in this workshop. So, make sure you register on time and please avoid canceling last minute!
