A Simple Method for Reliable Creation of 3D Artifact Models in the Field
Last year we introduced you to Samantha Porter who received a Leakey Foundation Research Grant in the fall of 2014. Recently Porter and her team published an article describing their photogrammetry technique for creating 3D artifact models. She was kind enough to share some insights (and 3D models) with us!
