This project was created by Sitag S.L. in Spain. The project displays the industrial modeling capabilities of PhotoModeler. The subject is an electrical station. PhotoModeler is used to model the station structure as well as electrical towers and lines.
The Cylinder tool was used to model various poles and pipes. Results were viewed and measured in PhotoModeler. The project coordinate data was studied in PhotoModeler's Point Table and then exported to CAD for further examination. The project used a total of 11 photos and 734 3D points.
In this project, a moving sheet was measured and modeling over time with the PhotoModeler Video Module (PMV).
This project demonstrates how a subject that changes shape can be modeled using PhotoModeler and the PMV Add-On. In this case coded targets were placed around and on a sheet of paper. The paper has a cylinder placed under it which is moved at each time epoch. It was possible to do the project with a single camera because the sheet was stationary at each time interval. This is called a "Type 2" project in PMV. For objects that are never stationary one uses multiple synchronized cameras and a PM "Type 1" project.
This project was conducted by Eos Systems and shows the measurement and modeling capabilities of PhotoModeler in an industrial setting. The subject was a boiler area located in a small brewery in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The Cylinder modeling tool was used here to measure and model pipes on the boiler structure.
The pipes modeled in this project can be measured right within PhotoModeler. Using the measure tool, information such as length and diameter can be retrieved. This project was created using a Kodak DCS 200 camera, with the resulting model using 13 photos and 75 3D points
This large and detailed project of a S211 aircraft from Italy was modeled by students conducting a study on the use of PhotoModeler for the purpose of reverse engineering. This project shows that with some planning, PhotoModeler is capable of modeling very complex objects.
The airplane was pre-marked with stickers before taking photos. The grid-shaped stickers helped the students mark and reference matching points on the many curved areas. Using the point and line tools, a detailed model of the airplane body was constructed.
PhotoModeler's Cylinder tool was used to help model the airplane's landing gear. Surfaces were added in PhotoModeler to complete the model.
The project was completed by students at the Università degli Studi di Bologna, Italy. The final project consisted of 35 photos and 657 marked and referenced points.
