Ham Hill Iron Age Skeletons Turn Digital

Three of the skeletons found at the site of Ham Hill, Somerset during the 2013 excavation are now available to view online at the following links: https://sketchfab.com/show/70d864c4736435710bc65b6f21d81c03 https://sketchfab.com/show/821565c7ce0b98e1b7764c73a9f07492 https://sketchfab.com/show/fa694aff0fb5949e2f396a5fb2da37b0 The skeletons were discovered during this year’s excavation carried out by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit and Cardiff University, at the site of an important Iron Age […]

Using Iphone Camera for Photogrammetry

I mentioned before I recently received an Iphone 4s, and having been a strong supporter of Windows against Apple, I am slowly being converted over. Apart from the great thing of being able to carry my models around and show fellow archaeologists without risking the life of my laptop, I have started exploring the advantages […]

Photogrammetry in Archaeology: Examples

I decided to make a video to show you some of the work I’ve been doing with 123D Catch and archaeological features. There’s not much to say about this one as the video is self explanatory, so just thanks for watching.

Some Issues with Photogrammetry

This is based on some of the work I did for my dissertation. I realised that as it stands it isn’t likely to be published, so I thought I should at least share some of the concepts and ideas that I used for it. Creating Photogrammetric models for archaeology can be a simple process, but […]

Program Overview: Meshlab

When writing my third year dissertation a few months ago I analysed a basic method of creating photogrammetric models using 123D Catch, and when it came to discussing the later editing of the models the program I turned to was Meshlab. I’d originally come across this program when looking at the Ducke, Scores and Reeves […]

New Things I’ve Learnt for Google Sketchup

If you read my blog yesterday I posted an article about creating a virtual museum using 123D Catch and Google Sketchup Pro. Apart from the large scale project, this has also given me a chance to play around more with these programs, and especially with Sketchup. As a result I’ve learnt a few more skills […]

Virtual Museums: Combining 3D Modelling, Photogrammetry and Gaming Software

I wrote the post below yesterday night, but since it was written I’ve managed to create at least a part of what is described in the text, which is shown in the video above. Hence keep in mind that the rest of the post may be slightly different from what is in the video. One […]

The Winged Victory of Samothrace: Analysis of the Images

This is a continuation of my blog from yesterday, so I suggest you read that first. One of the things I’ve been working on the past month is creating a photogrammetric model of monuments using nothing but tourists’ photographs. After many attempts my last test, using the Winged Victory of Samothrace as a model, seemed […]

The Winged Victory of Samothrace Reconstructed Digitally Using Tourists’ Photographs.

If you’ve been following my latest attempts to recreate famous monuments through Photogrammetry, using nothing but tourists’ photographs finally I have something to show for your patience. Before you get your hopes up, it is still not perfect, but it’s a step forward. The idea behind this is that 123D Catch uses photographs to create […]

Using Photogrammetry with Archaeological Archives: Must Farm

About a year ago I volunteered at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit for three weeks, during which I had some time to carry out some experiments with Photogrammetry with the help of some of the people there. One of the projects I carried out involved using the photograph archive they had to create 3D models with […]
