Heritage 3D Scanning with Close-Range Photogrammetry
Close-range photogrammetry is a powerful technique for the accurate digitisation of heritage objects, enabling the capture of complex geometry and fine surface detail without physical contact. In this example, a total of 174 high-resolution images (24 MP) were acquired to generate a detailed 3D model. The dataset was processed at maximum resolution, preserving both geometric fidelity and surface information without the need for additional post-processing. The resulting model includes a high-quality colour texture map generated at 8 MP resolution, providing a realistic representation suitable for visualisation and documentation. This workflow is particularly effective for scanning large sculptures, intricate artefacts, and complex freeform surfaces. The generated data can be used for a wide range of applications, including digital archiving, 3D printing, CNC machining, and reverse engineering.
