Photogrammetry: Education & Technology

Knowledge base about modern digitization technologies. Here you will learn what photogrammetry is, how the process of creating 3D models from a drone works, and how we use laser scanning to preserve cultural heritage.

Monuments in three dimensions

During the Night of Scientists at the Archaeological Museum in Kraków, archaeology met modern technology. Photogrammetry, 3D scanning, and drones demonstrate how monuments are documented and preserved today. The lecture also presented the results of the latest excavations in the museum’s garden – uncovered fragments of the former monastery and the remains of the church that had been buried underground for hundreds of years.

What is photogrammetry?

What is photogrammetry and how do I create my 3D models? Photogrammetry is a technique that allows for the creation of precise three-dimensional models from regular photos. While it may sound like magic, it is actually the result of advanced mathematical calculations and modern algorithms. In short, by taking hundreds or thousands of photos of a given object from different angles, we can reconstruct its shape, texture, and proportions in a virtual space.
