An Open-Source Photogrammetry Workflow for Reconstructing 3D Models.

ABSTRACT: Acquiring accurate 3D biological models efficiently and economically is important for morphological data collection and analysis in organismal biology. In recent years, structure-from-motion (SFM) photogrammetry has become increasingly popular in biological research due to its flexibility and being relatively low cost. SFM photogrammetry registers 2D images for reconstructing camera positions as the basis for 3D modeling and texturing. However, most studies of organismal biology still relied on commercial software to reconstruct the 3D model from photographs, which impeded the adoption of this workflow in our field due the blocking issues such as cost and affordability. Also, prior investigations in photogrammetry did not sufficiently assess the geometric accuracy of the models reconstruct
