3D facial capture using a custom-built photogrammetry setup for Orthodontics
| Device | : | Stereo-Face 3D |
| Cameras | : | 14 reflex Canon EOS 1200D |
| Lenses | : | 18-55 mm EF-S lenses |
| Mesh | : | 350,000 vertices |
| Tags | : | Digital Orthodontics, Facial Capturing, Medical Engineering |
All the data collected here have been kindly provided by Hans Wellens, a Belgian orthodontist and Ph.D. at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Together with other researchers from different Universities of Belgium and Netherlands, he developed a custom-built photogrammetry system for 3D facial capture to be used for Orthodontics. Their work aimed at providing a cheaper while still competitive solution with respect to other state-of-the-art systems already available on the market.
The article of the project has been recently published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (Volume 158, Issue 2, August 2020).

The Aqueduct Tower of Piadena Drizzona
Aerial Photogrammetry, Building Monitoring
All the data collected here have been kindly provided by the Italian company DL Droni Srl. The subject of this case study is an aqueduct tower located in Cremona, Italy, damaged due to the lack of maintenance over the years.
Within the next months is going back to being property of the Municipality of Piadena Drizzona, which is now aiming to develop a recovery project of the building through a visual and close analysis of the structure, along with a 3D reconstruction of the tower.

Redevelopment for the New Museum of Modern Art in Brescia
Architecture, Aerial Photogrammetry, Cultural Heritage
Nicola Liguori, graduating student in Building Engineering from Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy, carried out his dissertation project in collaboration with the Museum of Santa Giulia of Brescia, Italy, which felt the need to expand the warehouses for its artistic works. His project focused on aerial photogrammetry with UAV systems to digitally reconstruct the disused building called “Casere”, aiming to collect useful information for its redevelopment for the future Museum of Modern Art in Brescia.

The New Jerusalem
Point Cloud, Cultural Heritage
All the data have been kindly provided by Israeli artist Doron Altaratz, a Ph.D. candidate in communications and media studies at the Hebrew University and a Senior Lecturer at the Hadassah Academic College and Bezalel academy of Art and Design. Doron’s research currently concerns the social interactions of users with media and technology.
The project, in collaboration with electronic musician Ariel Karsh, was part of an international residency program at the Arebyte Gallery of London, with Rebecca Edwards as curator.

The Chillon Castle – Photogrammetry for VR and AR
Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Cultural Heritage
Digital artist Chris Blaser of g3D art-e-motion, along with Circle Lab GmbH, is working on a new Army museum in the area of Montreux, Switzerland. The museum will be opened in 2020 inside the Fort de Chillon, right above the medieval castle Chillon. The goal here is to extract a Low Poly version of the castle with Normals from the High Poly output for VR and Realtime Preview.
The Jabal Hafit anticline
Geology, Aerial Photogrammetry
Reuben J. Hansman and Uwe Ring of the Department of Geological Sciences of the Stockholm University, presented a workflow for field geologists that includes the usage of aerial photogrammetry to cover the wide area of the Jabal Hafit anticline in the United Arab Emirates. The aim is the extraction of geological information from the 3D reconstruction to create a 3D geological model
