publications on photoscan

[thomas83]

dear AGISOFT-users,
i'm working on a paper regarding the use of photoscan in archeological documentation.
for this i'm looking for publications in any media regarding photoscan's functionality and applications, any scientific field would do.
thanks a lot for your help!

Dear Tom,

the last year, I wrote about 7 publications on the use of PhotoScan for archaeological purposes (4 main articles and three smaller contributions). Most of the papers deal with aerial imagery (UAV, conventional aerial photography), but I also compared the output to laserscans for documenting excavations:

* Verhoeven, G. 2011. Taking Computer Vision Aloft – Archaeological Three-dimensional Reconstructions from Aerial Photographs with PhotoScan. Archaeological Prospection 18(1), 67-73.

* Verhoeven, G., Doneus, M., Briese, C., Vermeulen, F. 2011. Mapping by matching - A computer vision-based approach to fast and accurate georeferencing of archaeological aerial photographs. Journal of Archaeological Science. (In press, published online)

* Verhoeven, G., Taelman, D., Vermeulen, F. 2011. Computer vision-based orthophoto mapping of complex archaeological sites: the ancient quarry of Pitaranha (Portugal-Spain). Archaeometry (In press, published online)

* Verhoeven, G., Doneus, M., Briese, C., 2012. Computer vision techniques: towards automated orthophotoproduction. AARGNews 44, 8-11.

* Verhoeven, G., 2012. Getting computer vision airborne – using Structure from Motion for accurate orthophoto production. RSPSoc Archaeology Special Interest Group Newsletter Spring 2012, 4-6. (can be found here: http://rspsoc.org/images/uploads/sig_publications/ArchSIG_Newsletter_Spring_2011.pdf)

* Plets, G., Gheyle, W., Verhoeven, G., De Reu, J., Bourgeois, J., Verhegge, J., Stichelbaut, B. 2012. Towards a Three-Dimensional Registration of the Archaeological Heritage of the Altai Mountains. Antiquity. (in press)

* Doneus, M., Verhoeven, G., Fera, M., Briese, Ch., Kucera, M., Neubauer, W. 2011. From deposit to point cloud – A study of low-cost computer vision approaches for the straightforward documentation of archaeological excavations. Geoinformatics 6 (XXIIIrd International CIPA Symposium), 81–88. http://geoinformatics.fsv.cvut.cz/pdf/geoinformatics-fce-ctu-2011-06.pdf.

Some of them can be found on my academia.edu website: http://lbi.academia.edu/GeertVerhoeven. If you want all of them, just drop me an email.

Cheers,
Geert

Hi Wishgranter,

Apparently I was modifying my message when you posted one. Sure. If you want, I can put them all on my server for you to download.

Cheers,

Geert

In September last year me and my colleagues planned to laser scan an old building in Rome. Since the laser scanner refused to colorize the scans we started to improvice with a camera and Photoscan. You can find the result here:

Unfortunately we didn't manage to make a 3D pdf of the full textured model that we created in Meshlab.
