Summary Statement

This course provides an introduction to 3D photography: the process of using cameras and light to capture the shape and appearance of real objects. Methods include both passive and active vision techniques ranging from stereo, structure from motion, and photogrammetry to imaging radar, optical triangulation, and interferometry. The course introduces these fundamental methods, provides in-depth analysis of several emerging techniques, and concludes with a field study: capturing 3D photographs of Michelangelo's statues.
