Photogrammetry - technology and processes, platforms and services for different user groups and contexts

该项目将使用‘以人为中心的设计’研究方法，探索通过摄影测量对物体和文物进行数字捕捉的改进解决方案。这项技术从数字照片创建逼真的3D模型，并在对生成的模型和照片的数据集及其各种形式的处理的多种应用方面迅速超过其他数字捕获方法(通常称为“3D扫描”)。除了在科学、地质和考古分析中的长期作用外，这些数字“输出”在艺术、工艺、设计和其他创意和文化实践中有非常广泛的用途--从雕塑到游戏和虚拟现实；文化遗产研究和传播、保存和存档--在博物馆、图书馆和收藏品中；以及更广泛的创意和生产行业，如时装、鞋类和工业设计。3D模型在增强、虚拟和混合现实系统中的应用正在快速增长。从现实生活中的人工制品创建这些模型的需求是一个不断扩大的市场，但需要创新，特别是在市场上更容易获得的一端的摄影测量的可靠性、效率和可负担性方面。还迫切需要解决文化遗产模型标准化和保存的问题，博物馆和档案馆捕捉的实物以及最近创建的数字文化。研究将探讨这项技术对一系列用户群体的进一步潜力；从那些希望通过支持的技术和“局”式服务获得集成解决方案的人，到寻求高端适应性系统的“超级用户”，这些系统可以随着他们的需求而增长，并通过评估和测试、共同设计和创新来形成持续的知识交流的一部分。通过采访、用户测试现有解决方案、集思广益和讨论研讨会、建模和原型会议的组合，这项研究旨在确定摄影测量所有不同元素的发展潜力。用户和设计师、技术专家和研究人员将共同开发新的想法，并试验设备、系统和软件；流程、方法和服务设计，以满足不同的用户需求、技术专长水平和预算--从个人艺术家到教育和文化机构，再到商业和创意行业。“

"The project will use 'human-centered design' research methods to explore improved solutions to the digital capture of objects and artefacts through photogrammetry. This technology creates photorealistic 3D models from digital photographs and is fast outstripping other methods of digital capture (often called '3D scanning') in terms of the multiple applications of the resulting models and 'data sets' of photos and their various forms of processing.In addition to their long-standing role in scientific, geological and archaeological analysis, these digital 'outputs' have a very wide range of uses in art, craft, design and other creative and cultural practices - from sculpture to gaming and VR; cultural heritage study and dissemination, preservation and archiving - in museums, libraries and collections; and the wider creative and production industries like fashion, footware and industrial design.The application of the use of 3D models in augmented, virtual and mixed reality systems is growing at a rapid pace. The demand for the creation of these models from real life artefacts is an expanding market, but one in need of innovation, especially in terms of the reliability, efficiency and affordability of photogrammetry at the more accessible end of the market. There is also a pressing need for solutions to the standardisation and preservation of models for cultural heritage, museums and archives of captured material objects and more recently created digital culture.The research will investigate the further potential of this technology for a range of user groups; from those wanting to access an integrated solution through supported technology and 'bureau'-type services, to 'super-users' seeking high-end adaptable systems that can grow with their needs, and form part of an ongoing exchange of knowledge through evaluation and testing, co-design and innovation.Through a combination of interviews, user testing of current solutions, brainstorming and discussion workshops, modelling and prototyping sessions, the research aims to identify the potential for development of all of the different elements of photogrammetry. Users and designers, technologists and researchers will work together developing new ideas, and experiment with equipment, systems and software; processes, methodologies and service design that will suit different user demands, levels of technical expertise and budgets - from the individual artist, through educational and cultural institutions, to the commercial and creative industries."
