Extract 3-D from photos

Hi folks

 

This question is not directly related to IC, but I thought one of you CAD cracks might be able to help me.

 

We build custom-designed incubators for microscopes. Our customers often send us pictures of their existing setups from which we would like to extracvt some 3-D information. Do you know any software that would help us to do that? In general, the observer location will not be known but would have to be inferred from known absolute and relative properties of objects (typically lines) in the picture(s). Ideally, the software should also be able to deduce distortion parameters of the camera optics.

 

TIA,

 

Beat

Dave - thanks for the hint.

 

Tom -

 

Rhino works with 3D digitizers. But where are the photogrammetry functions hidden?

 

BTW, if anybody else is interested, here are some of the programs I found:

PhotoModeler Pro

ShapeCatcher

ImageModeler

3D Builder Pro

 

I have tested PhotoModeler Pro in some detail and achieved accuracy in the range of 1:2000 with an uncalibrated digital camera. Their website claims that 1:20000 is possible with a properly calibrated high quality digital camera! Just for those who are interested.
