SfM and archeo-anthropology

[luca]

Hi Ricardo,
the skull is done with 40 pictures. Actually i have to finish the work 
in Meshlab. As you see in the movie, the model is not yet completely 
clean (there are some black point at the bottom). Next step is to 
rebuild the surface (i want to test hard also this part of the wrkflow). 
I already tried to create the mesh for this model, but i have to report 
that unfortunately the Linux version of meshlab seems to be not yet so 
stable like the windows version in building the surface (for all the 
rest it works fine). Alessandro (that knows better this software) told 
me that, if Meshlab crash too often in Linux/ArcheOS, it is better to do 
the same operation in a Windows version and it will not crash. I tried 
only once and Meshlab crashed on the 80% of the process. I will try some 
more time, but i guess we can report this issue to the Meshlab team (we 
can write to Matteo Dellepiane or Paolo Cignoni). Anyway i will wait 
till i get some more results.

You are right, video cameras should gave you optimal data to work on 
with SfM. Till now i never tried, but this would be a nice test to do. 
It should speed up data acquisition (but maybe slow down data elaboration).

For the skull i used a black background to do PMVS2 elaboration faster 
and this trick worked pretty good (it also gave me a more clean model at 
the end of the process).
