Session outline

In this session we will give a general overview of 3D imaging/scanning and modelling techniques, some of which will be taken up in the later sessions in weeks 7 and 9. We will then present two case studies of 3D scanning heritage objects and archaeological sites, respectively, to show some of the technical and cost implications of different imaging methods, and put the technologies in a research context. Finally we will offer a hands-on tutorial in photogrammetry, taking multiple photographs of an object and then running them through the Agisoft Metashape software (trial version) to create a 3D model. Students will be invited to try this out as an exercise at home.
