Hi,

You can create your own photogrammetric system with amateur camera and open source photogrammetry software. But if you would like to buy full commercial systems it is your choice.

Firstly, you need to know some basic knowledge of photogrammetry for acquisition of photographs and processing of images. Then you can reconstruct 3D model of body surface .

I am using Canon Eos 550D 18-55 camera, picking some measurements on surface with precise ruler and some paintings for GCPs on surface than taking photos around the body or any interested object. If you need to create accurate model, you need to take photos close to the object.

Import photos into photogrammetry software and process, then 3D model can be evaluate with further software for deformations on the surface.

Few very useful open source projects you can find as follow:

I have used  3dMD photogrammetric system in maxillofacial application, for producing precised and accurate images for 3D constraction of maxillofacial prostheses

Dear Faraedon,

Thank for Your answer. 

Please Tell some of your observations for 3D Photogrammetry (How You use the system etc.)

Dear Mustafa,

Thank You for very interesting answer.

Photogrammetry is the process of producing quantitative 3D information about the external geometry of an object via the use of photographs. Photogrammetry deals with measurements of photographs and reconstructs the measurements of 3D objects from photographic reproductions. This can be achieved by using two or more cameras arranged as stereo-pairs to obtain 3D coordinates of facial geometry. Stereophotogrammetry can simply be defined as creation of a 3D image from multiple views of photos. The photogrammetric system is based on high-resolution digital cameras, set up as three pods, positioned at three locations, to the right, front and left of the object. The combination of the three cameras allows for greater accuracy of facial anatomy within 360 degrees. Two lenses are used to capture separate images of the same object but from different angles. This technique is a novel technique called natural features technique. The acquired data is transferred to a 3D CAD package for processing and designing a 3D image.

For maxillofacial soft tissue prostheses data can be captured by laser surface digitalizing technique or Stereophotogrammetry system. These are considered the two most acknowledged methods of surface imaging, because they are non-invasive, non-ionizing and non-contact methods of data capturing. Both are highly sensitive methods of surface imaging which optimize the image capturing system

This method of 3D imaging has some advantages over the other methods. It is a rapid image system, capturing the anatomical facial details achieved within 0.5 min with rapid generation of the 3D display. Thus young children’s and babies’ imaging can be performed with minimum risk of data distortion. Furthermore, this method of imaging is a non-contact and non-invasive method of 3D surface data capturing.

we have a publish article about using 3D photogrammetry system for producing facial prostheses titled (Developing a 3D colour image reproduction system for additive manufacturing of facial prostheses. You can follow this site to find it

Yes, we do have experience on 3D photogrammetric reconstruction. Would you tell us a little bit about your problem or issue?

I'm interested in the assessment of posture.
