A new imaging system produces 3-D models of monuments using unmanned aircraft

To develop this system, University of Granada researchers used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. This system produces a realistic reproduction of architectural models at a low cost. University of Granada researchers have developed a 3D imaging system that scans 3D models of historical buildings using data… Seguir Leyendo A new imaging system produces 3-D models of monuments using unmanned aircraft
