Systems and methods for photogrammetric rendering

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for producing a rendered drawing or rendering from a detailed image of an object (e.g. photograph) resulting in a rendering that is photogrammetric and that preserves detail in the said image of said object. The combination of the metric nature and image detail preservation in a rendering resulting from the process enhances the usefulness of the rendering to users. The invention is useful in particular for large format renderings such as wire frame style drawings used for blueprints in the architecture, engineering and construction industry (AEC industry) when used for existing structures. The processes combine graphic arts techniques with photogrammetric techniques to preserve, fully or partially, information about an object as captured in image detail of said object and to present said information in photogrammetrically correct rendering, which rendering may be incorporated into drawings useful to and/or familiar to end users of said drawings.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for producing a two-dimensional rendered drawing of an object, the method comprising:
processing a non-metric image of the object to create a photogrammetric image of the object, wherein the object comprises original surface detail; and generating a two-dimensional rendered drawing of the photogrammetric image comprising as-is processed texture data based entirely on the original surface detail of the object.
