Capturing

If this is the first time you are using photogrammetry software, read the following chapter on how to take good photos for your project.

Basics

  • Your Scene/Object should be well lit.

  • Avoid shadows and reflections and transparent objects.

  • Best shoot in indirect light such as in the daylight shadow of a building avoid plain and one-colored surfaces

  • Don´t use a flash.

  • Do not change the focal length while shooting or use a fixed lens.

  • Make sure you can take pictures from all angles.

  • Avoid moving objects in the scene or background!

  • Rotate only objects with a plain background

  • The Object of interest should always fill most of the image

  • Take images with a side overlap of min. 60% and frontal overlap of 80%.

  • For each shot, move to a new position (or rotate the object)

  • Do not take multiple images from the same spot.

  • You can photograph multiple times in different patterns to leave no blind spots

  • avoid shaking

  • The more images you have, the better. You can always decide not to use them…
