AUTOMATIC MEASURING, HOW DOES IT WORK ?

Pixdim automatically creates 3D points from a set of photos taken with positioned coded targets.

Each target corresponds to a Number. This Number is read by Pixdim from the photo and allows it to automatically create 2D points on the images at the center of the target.

Then Pixdim computes 3D point positions from 2D points on each images and creates 3D points.
(We encourage you to watch the video  "How does it work")

STEP-BY-STEP :

1 - Position a coded target at each point that you want to Measure/Digitize.
Position Targets

2 - Position the special coded targets representing the origin and one of the axe (if needed).
Reference rule

3 - Take a series of photos of the scene and copy all these photos into an empty folder.
Shots

4 - Run the software, then the 3D reconstruction command and load a photo from the list. It's finished... Everything is automatic, after calculations (the time depends on the number of images but just a couple of minutes is sufficient), Pixdim creates the 3D points.
