  • Three-dimensional photogrammetry system and method
    Patent number: 10386184
    Abstract: A photogrammetry system includes a photogrammetry rig and a plurality of cameras. The photogrammetry rig includes a support frame and a plurality of support arms. The support frame includes a plurality of joint members and a plurality of struts each extending between two of the plurality of joint members to collectively form a spherical polyhedron shape having a center focal point. Each of the plurality of support arms extends through a different one of the plurality of joint members in a direction following a different radial ray from the center focal point. Each of the plurality of support arms is selectively, linearly slidable and securable relative to the different one of the joint members along the different radial ray between a position closest to the center focal point and a different position farthest away from the center focal point.
