How to take shots for photogrammetry

Answer

One important point for successful  3D digitizing is to take good shots of the objects...

Photogrammetry technology uses triangulation and THE basic rule is the cameras must have angle and looks at similar zones/areas.

In the picture bellow, cameras have good angle but does not look at the same point it is impossible to triangulate.

In the picture bellow, Cameras have angle and look at a similar point, it is correct Rhinophoto can triangulate.

Especially for large objects, you have to paid attention about that point.
eg. for digitizing a boat hull you have to follow the rule and move yourself between each shots.
The picture bellow will not works...

The picture bellow will give good results, Rhinophoto will be able to compute and assemble automatically the 3D scene.
