Remote Sensing and 3D Modeling Tools: Digital Twins for Documenting and Preserving History [Deeper Digs]
Discover how cutting-edge technologies including drones, photogrammetry, and remote sensing are revolutionizing historical preservation in this two-hour seminar. In the first hour, you’ll learn about the principles of photogrammetry, common workflows for 3D reconstruction, and explore case studies showcasing how these techniques are used to create detailed digital twins of artifacts and historic sites. The second hour provides a hands-on demonstration where attendees will follow and learn the step-by-step process of building 3D models, from image organization to dense point cloud generation, mesh creation, and exporting final models. Whether you're a preservationist, archaeologist, or technology enthusiast, this seminar offers both foundational knowledge and practical skills to document and visualize history.
