Abstract
A method of building a three-dimensional model of a partially obstructed surface area. The method includes defining the boundary of the surface area and subsections thereof using boundary markers having a preconfigured pattern of location points. An orientation tool may be disposed in each subsection when images are captured thereof. The number and type of captured images are based on the degree of obstruction so that the acquired location and orientation data may be integrated into an internal three-dimensional model.
Claims11
A method of acquiring photogrammetric data, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of subsections of the surface area with boundary markers;
- placing an orientation tool within one of the plurality of subsections;
- and
- capturing, by way of an image capturing device, a plurality of images of one of the plurality of subsections, wherein a quantity and vantage points of the plurality of images for each subsection is based on whether the subsection is an unobstructed subsection, a partially obstructed subsection, or a wholly obstructed subsection.
