Fischer180 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi folks, For my research I took photographs of different types of soils to capture the soil roughness. The method used was holding a camera high above the ground and tsking stereo pictures orthogally from the soil surface. I'm able to create anaglyph stereo images from them but I want to quantify the roughness. I would therefore have to create some sort of a digital elevation model from these pictures. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated . Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1974 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi, I think you can use Close range photogrammetry software like PHOTOMODELLER Scanner, it should solve your problem. Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contiki Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi, I think you can use Close range photogrammetry software like PHOTOMODELLER Scanner, it should solve your problem. Stuart. It will work but you MUST have taken the photographs in a way that there is the SAME COMMON area in PAIRS of them (the pairs you will use to create a stereoscopic view-a real 3D solid). So, by taking photos with an overlapping area of about 60% of each photo will give you the ability to use, not just pairs but, series of them to create real 3D representations of the ground surface. Computer memory and processing power will be the limits of the 3D area you can produce each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIGIS Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Photoscan from Agisoft is a nice software and it's very easy to learn but it's not free : http://www.agisoft.ru/products/photoscan/ An another alternative is Bundler not really intuitive but free. You can't have everything you want : http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/bundler/ cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
