Abstract
Nowadays, close-range photogrammetry and a laser scanner are the two most popular
techniques in reconstruction of three-dimensional objects. This paper develops a methodology
based on videogrammetry to reconstruct 3D objects more quickly than conventional
photogrammetric techniques and more cheaply than a laser scanner. Videogrammetry allows
the capture of thousands of points in a very short space of time (like a laser scanner) and the
objects geometry and texture (frames are photographic images as stereo pairs). A system
composed of a video camera and a turntable support with a double platform over it has been
developed. This paper shows the design, construction and calibration of the system to model
3D objects contained on the support with pinpoint accuracy
