PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR 3D RECONSTRUCTION IN SOLIDWORKS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY PotabattiNikhil Satyanarrayan 2019 Photogrammetry and laser scanning are two primary methods used for object reconstruction / reverse engineering. But Laser scanners have much higher initial investment compared to photogrammetry method.<div>Currently, in the industry, researchers have been using 3 different softwares for reverse engineering purposes from photogrammetry/laser scanning.</div><div><br></div><div>This thesis is to showcase research work with following points:</div><div>1. Comparison between laser scanner and photogrammetry tools.</div><div>2. Application of photogrammetry in the industry.</div><div>3. Evaluation of photogrammetry tools based on quality of mesh results and comparison with baseline standard of laser-scanner results.</div><div>4. Proposed integrated methodology with photogrammetry tool for reverse engineering within single environment. </div><div>5. Validation of this integrated methodology with case studies.</div><div>6. Parametric study of tool for accuracy and comparison with actual standard models.</div><div><div><br></div></div>
