Photogrammetry Setup for Indoor 3D Prop Scanning

#photogrammetry #scanning #diy #photography #tutorial #turntable
In this video I present my photogrammetry setup I use for indoor 3D props scanning.
My intention was to show not just what, but also why I use certain things.
I want you to learn from mistakes I made while building this setup so you can learn from them and build a better one.
I really hope this will give you get better understanding of camera setting, light behaviour and Depth of Field dependencies so you can use them in your advantage.
In details I show:
- inverse square rule for the light falloff
- Depth of Field dependencies
- short story of failures, lessons learnt and improvements introduced to make this setup working
- complete list of photogrammetry setup for 3D prop scanning
- how to finally connect everything together to start the scanning process
Since its a long one, I really hope it was worth the effort and someone finds it useful and helpful.
If you like it and want to see even more content like this one, please subscribe to my channel and leave the thumbs up.
Big thanks who did it already as it really helps me to move forward.
Stay safe and till the next one
Cheers!

This is a very honest video. You described all of your mistakes. Thanks for that. I am now trying to copy your setup.

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Thank you and good luck. There is one thing I have changed since this time I made this video. I purchased even better remote flash transmitter - the one which supports TTL. It doesnt change much for this setup but it does when you ever use any Flash with TTL.. so for example if you plan to use part of this setup for Photometric Stereo and use the AD200 flash light as a source of light. SO basically I ended up wih the: PRO ST-III Plus 2.4GHz TTL Flash Trigger with High-Speed Sync & Bluetooth (X2T)

Thanks, no worries. Going to cover 'software' side next time :). Still not sure should I cover reconstruction process and automasking in a separate video or do quick preview in the one I am planning to make to cover atlas textures tho. Different apps have slightly different tools for automasking but if you know how it works its quite easy if the capture was well done.

Thanks, bear in mind that it took me a few years to build this setup, so just be patient and purchase gear one by one picking those you need the most. So I guess.. camera first.. lens.. color checker.. tripod etc. Also its just the option, knowledge is the most important in here as allows you to adjust the workflow to the setup you have. If you know all 'why's you can scan even with you mobile. Cheers!

[@jdenn3]

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Thanks, you are welcome :)

[@izoyt]

great work, as always. onkly thing i would add, is to always try to extend centre column on the tripod as less as possible, since you only adding vibrations to the camera . i know it come handy, but stiil. your tripod is already probably on weak side with all stuff on top. but then again,, exposure times is short enough that shake is not intruduced..

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Yeah, with the flash and such short exposure time all vibrations get frozen and never were the issue, especially that the capture is fully automated so I dont walk around adding additional floor vibration. Vibration become an issue with LED light being used or with significantly increased magnification levels. In this case the solution is to add more delay time between each shots to let camera calm down (optionally use electronic shutter with the LED light so we dont get any vibrations from the shutter movement).

Thanks Mike, appreciated :). Regarding the Substance part.. that was the plan since the beginning but after I found the video is one hour long I decided to split it into two parts.. one about prop scanning and the other one about scan usage. In the next one than I am going to present how to turn these scans easily into high quality atlas texture sets and how to scatter them across already existing materials but even how to create a totally brand new ones. I was researching this subject since months too and have got very promissing results.. which I am planning to share soon :). This is why I just mentioned this at the end of the video instead of turning it into a 1.5 hours long one :) Cheers!

[@jvolto]

Ever tried reality capture? I used to work in metashape but it was just so slow. With reality capture i can align the images in less than 3min and do a 200mil poly mesh in an hour. The only downside is that its perpetual licence is very expensive. But i convinced my boss to buy it and i'm using it for everything now.

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Yes I did but not for private use. Reality Capture was way to expensive for me and I never was a big fan of subscription model they offered. I purchased the Metashape 5 years ago for 130USD and I still use it while getting all updates for free. As far as I know Reality Capture is still faster but not as much as it used to. Also reconstruction quality is totally comparable between RC and Metashape, not mentioning improved resource management so the Metashape doesnt need super strong PC anymore. Regarding image alignment.. you can also align images in 3 minutes with the Metashape, it depends on the setting you chose and amount of images used. I am working on a comparison video where I compare Reality Capture, Metashape, 3DF Zephyr and Meshroom since about a year. To be honest.. one of initial reasons I built the setup which is the subject of this video was to scan some props I can use in this comparison :). I might never finish this video tho as this is not the only one I am working on since over a year. Another one is the one which covers Photometric Stereo reconstruction.. its also an ongoing one :).

[@jvolto]

@@GrzegorzBaranArt Oh, you're aligning images in 3min? strange, i have to wait 10min for "matching points" and half an hour for "camera locations". i'm trying to align 300 cameras with the highest alignment settings and 80,000 points, and it's a model scan not a texture scan, maybe that's the problem. What are your alignment settings? Also would love to see that comparison video!

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

@@jvolto Not at all.. every software moves forward.. as I mentioned Metashape has changed a lot recently. And of course a lot depends on setting used. You can set the amount of points to 40million and it will take hours. But if you do that with the RC the result will be exactly the same. Anyway, just for you I took the scan of the small soil lump you can see on this video when I talk about the dirt sitting on the platform. It was captured with 174 RAW images in 24Mpx and I processed directly these RAW files without any postprocessing. For reconstruction I used Metashape 1.7.2. I didnt mask any images. I used default high quality setting for the alignment with generic preselection active and default key point setting: Accuracy: Highest Key Point Limit: 40,000 Tie point limit: 4000 The full alignment took 2mins 32secs But to compare I grabbed 3DF Zephyr Lite in version 5.019 and I processed the same images there with General setting with everything set by default. The image alignment took there 2 mins 12 secs I used the PC config described in my video about bakers.. so nothing fancy. Hope that helps :)

[@militanttriangle2326]

Dzieki wielkie :)

This video isn't a tutorial on photogrammetry, it's a complete walkthrough on perservation in the face of technical set backs

Cheers :D

Genialne! Prawdziwe kompendium wiedzy. Ten film to czyste złoto. Widząc twoje zmagania z materią -polecam zainteresowac sie kupnem drukarki 3d. Np Ender 3 v2 - tania jak barszcz, a otwiera drogę do tworzenia tysiecy przydatnych narzędzi. // Epic! A real compendium of knowledge. This movie is pure gold. Seeing your struggles with the matter - I recommend that you buy a 3d printer. Eg Ender 3 v2 - dirt cheap, and opens the way to the creation of thousands of useful tools.

Dzieki wielkie :) Najpierw musze uzbierac na drukarke a mam jeszcze kilka projektow przez soba, ktore chce pchnac w pierwszej kolejnosci a moga mnie one sporo kosztowac.

Thanks for video ^_^

Hey Alex, you are welcome :)

Great video! Instead of the Syrp Genie Mini one could also buy a Orangemonkie Foldio360. It's not battery powered. It can carry 5kg instead of 4kg and also has an app with the similar settings. It can trigger your camera remotely via infrared, but you need a simple IR extender because the flash light blocks the signal. Mounting clams to it unfortunately won't be possible.

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Big thanks. 'Orangemonkie Foldio360' looks interesting. I was considering different turntables but unfortunately didn't see this one. Big thanks for sharing, definitelly worth to consider as its way cheapper.

Iconasys makes nice software controlled photography turntables that sync with a DSLR camera too. (0.7kg-227kg) It automates the capture process and makes getting hundreds and hundreds of images super eays. iconasys.com/360-product-photography-turntables-and-software

[@MrKams1]

excellent video with some great tips, should have subscribed ages ago ;-)

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Thank you and welcome to my channel then :)

Wow, we built a scanner at our Makerspace ourselves using the OpenScan System with a stepper motor and a turntable from Ikea which can hold quite a bit of weight. I still had always problems with the lighting. I never thought to use a ring light since we built the lights ourselves. Great job and amazing walkthrough!

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Yeah, the light is definitelly a tricky subject and needs some calculations and supportive camera setting. This is why I suggested to shot a few test images before to make sure that we utilise dynamic range properly. And big thanks for kind words.. very appreciated :)

[@plog1805]

If your stepper motor and turntable from IKEA ends up being too small or not accurate enough, Iconasys has different size and capacity software-controlled photography turntables. iconasys.com/applications/photogrammetry-3d-models

[@HDEFMAN1]

That was a fascinating video. I watched the whole thing from start to finish. Your use of ring flash to illuminate your subjects is something that had not occurred to me. Managing to keep the subject properly centred and securely held in place can be very time consuming. Working out the best way to maximise the available depth of field is another task that consumes a lot of my time when engaging in photogrammetry. Once all that is figured out, taking the photos themselves is fairly straightforward.

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Cheers, hope this video was helpful to improve your photogrammetry workflow :)

Small debree while it is consistant between frames it is not a big problem? so if you don't need bottom of the statue, you can cut it after reconstruction. As well if you use at high power it can make polarizationd fade away over time (just a note). Regarding background cloth you can use some pole at the bottom part to make it moke flat (like on screens for projectors). Turn table cheaper alternative (not so fancy but with remote shutter as well and 2x cheaper) "ComXim 360 Degree Photography Turntable" In general with turntable that rotates and stops to make a photo, why do you need HSS I don't get. In general amazing video, assume that take a while to put everything together for 1h video. Great work.

[@GrzegorzBaranArt]

Thanks, thats true. I didint really need HSS for props captures as long I wasnt setting exposure time over 1/300s. I was considering quicker exposure times as an option when shooting in very bright environment when the small aperture setting wasnt enough to cut environment light from the image. I was also considering it for outdoor captures. Its a very good idea with the pole mounted at the bottom of the fabric. The dust can be a problem for image alignment since it is there at some angle and isnt when the angle changes. I simply masked it out. I am sure there are cheaper turntable solutions, I considered a few but decided to go with this one as a reliable one and as I knew what exactly I can expect from it. This setup isn't finished and I am sure there is still a lot left for improvements.. I dont believe any really ever is ;P. So big thanks for your advice. Very appreciated :)
