We’re experimenting with macro tubes for photogrammetry, and we tried a comparison between two different cameras and two different reconstruction techniques. The subject was this rather hideous figurine of Bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt’s adviser, that a local supermarket gave out a few years ago.
The difficulties stem from its diminutive size and from its texture. It is quite smooth, with lots of reflections and some subsurface effects. Also the lighting in the room was very direct, we had to move carefully to avoid throwing our shadows on the object, which negatively affected the spatial sampling.
Our objective was clearly observing how these technologies fail, so it suited us.
