Photogrammetry on the foreshore – 3D modelling on the Thames

Join Oliver Hutchinson of the Coastal and Intertidal Archaeological Network (CITiZAN), Azizul Karim of MOLA
and members of the Thames Discovery Programme team for a workshop introducing photogrammetry and 3D modelling. The morning session will cover a brief history of photogrammetry, its value to archaeological research and how to capturing the best possible data set on site. The afternoon session will be dedicated to understanding Agisoft Photoscan, the industry standard software package for 3D modelling and photogrammetry. By the end of the day participants will be competent in conducting their surveys on site right through to completing their own high quality 3D model.
