Photogrammetry for Archaeological Objects: A Manual
Madeline G.P. Robinson
Photogrammetry is the process of obtaining digital three-dimensional models of objects, features, or landscapes from a series of overlapping, focused, and well-exposed two-dimensional photographs. Photogrammetry is becoming standard practice for archaeological analysis, especially since a digital camera now features consistently in an archaeologist’s tool kit. An archaeological career, however, does not traditionally involve becoming an expert in photography.
Photogrammetry for Archaeological Objects: A Manual explains in simple, easy-to-follow steps all the essential elements of photography, how to design a controlled photography setup, how to shoot in an uncontrolled environment, and how to edit your images so you can develop your proficiency in photography and by extension, photogrammetry. This guide will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to the process of setting up your camera for photogrammetry shooting, the necessary camera positions required to completely capture your artefacts, and how to use the images captured to process and edit your photogrammetry models.
With the aid of 11 different case studies of a variety of archaeological objects, you can develop your understanding of how to approach different archaeological material for modelling purposes, and what camera gear, shooting environment, and camera angles are most suitable to correctly capture your object.
Photogrammetry for Archaeological Objects is your go-to guide for building successful and usable 3D photogrammetry models of archaeological material that can be used for analysis, conservation and educational purposes.
An invaluable resource for archaeologists, and many others, who want to develop high quality photogrammetric models of objects.
