Precedent Study 2

Study 2 - An application of Photogrammetry Measuring Technology to Parametric Modeling of Korean Traditional Wooden Structure - Han-Seon Bae, Ma-rie Kim, Soo-Young Shin, Hyun-A Kim, Chae-Shin Yoon

This paper is about constructing a 3D mole of a Korean traditional wooden structure, with the purpose benign to obtain dimensions. This was done using PhotoModeler, which extracts information from a series of photos. All you need is one measurement to act as a constrain and then the other dimensions can be generated. The possibilities of this are numerous. I can imagine if you were developing a townhouse, you could measure the street length of one and have the program generate the surrounding buildings automatically. It would also be helpful in documentation processes and restoration projects.

Using PhotoModeler, like any photogrammetry software, relies heavily on the quality of photographs (resolution and position of cameras) in order to get good results.
