Imaging

Photogrammetry is an imaging software used for various applications. Real objects, people or landscapes can be turned into 3D digital images using multiple photos taken from different points of view. This software is useful for students studying subjects such as architecture, archaeology engineering and geology as it allows them to create plans of complex landscapes, sites and objects.

As photogrammetry is quite a specialist software, there are many considerations that need to be made to ensure the right one is purchased. For students, the software must contain all the features necessary for their studies but also not be too complicated that too much time is spent learning how to use it.

The software should also be one that students can use in the future when they leave education and progress to carers. Reality Capture is a comprehensive, easy to use photogrammetry imaging software. Ideal for students because of its efficiency, Reality capture allows students to create virtual reality scenes, textured 3D meshes, orthographic projections, geo-referenced maps and more. Images are scanned automatically and can be shared amongst peers for collaborative projects or feedback from teachers.

Students in engineering courses will also benefit from the speed at which objects can be scanned and recreated in digital format. Technical objects can be explored in more depth of sight using imaging software and students can spend more time studying the object from their computer.

Geologists can use the software for studying rock formations and layers giving them the ability to zoom in on 3D models of an actual formation and providing a more in-depth learning experience.

Archaeologists can look at dig sites in more detail and teachers can use the digital models in the classroom for a more immersive and engaging lesson. The same is true for students on architecture courses as they can create their own digital 3D infrastructure. For students who learn by seeing and doing, this software is ideal, and they can continue to use it in their professional lives.
