Abstract: A method of using a photogrammetry system to produce a three-dimensional image representation includes placing an object in the photogrammetry system, illuminating only a plurality of polarized lights, capturing a polarized image capture set of the object using a plurality of cameras while only the plurality of polarized lights are illuminated, and sending the polarized image capture set to the at least one computer processor. The method further comprises illuminating only a plurality of non-polarized lights, capturing a non-polarized image capture set of the object from the plurality of cameras while only the non-polarized lights are illuminated, and sending the non-polarized image capture set to the at least one computer processor. The method still further comprises using the at least one computer processor to generate a three-dimensional image representation of the object includes comparing the polarized image capture set and the non-polarized image capture set.

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.
