PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY
ATTENTION POINTS:
• provide enough overlap between photos
• panorama first• don’t crop pictures• shoot wide angle pictures• limit the angle between
photos• move around the object• shoot scenes with lots of
detail and texture

GENERATING THE POINT CLOUD USING PHOTOSYNTH
The easy to use interface of Photosynth
PHOTOSYNTH:
• download from photosynth.net
• requires Silverlight NET• requires a free Windows
Live account• reliable and fast broadband
connection is needed• reduce resolution size of
photos prior to process & upload

CONCLUSIONS
PRO:
• doesn’t require expensive or heavy equipment
• easy to use• fast results
CON:
• far less accurate and detailed then a 3D laser scanner
• difficulties with repetitive patterns and complex occlusions
• Linux and Mac OS are unsupported
• Needs (fast) internet connection
