Digitization techniques have been vastly employed for paleontological studies in the past years, mainly in Image Segmentation for CT-scan data and Photogrammetry. Photogrammetry translates with accuracy a physical object to the digital world. This allows for collaboration with researchers across the globe and the study of specimens when collection visits are not possible. With that in mind, some paleontology journals are requesting digitalized specimens, and in doing so, are allowing for the democratization of paleontology and the easy access to published data.
The Photogrammetry workshop will approach basic concepts in photography and the different methods in photogrammetry. We will discuss the techniques to make a good photogrammetry and show case-studies of how to tackle fossils of different shapes and sizes. The instructors will provide some datasets ready for the process of creating a 3D model, including dinosaur tracks, vertebrate and invertebrate fossils. These datasets will go through the general photogrammetry workflow, from the alignment of pictures to the final textured 3D model, using the software Agisoft Metashape pro (a trial version is free to download). We will then approach basic rendering and digital measuring of fossils using the softwares MeshLab and Blender (both open source softwares). We advise you all to download these softwares to follow our workflow in real time, and hope you leave the workshop with the necessary skills to create your own digital database.
Adrian Páramo graduated in Geological Sciences at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), Spain, and obtained his PhD in Biology at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), Spain. He studies the appendicular skeleton of sauropod dinosaurs using Geometric Morphometrics digitizing the specimens via Photogrammetry. He currently works as researcher at the Centro de Interpretación Paleontológica de La Rioja at Igea, Spain, applying this digitizing techniques to the conservation of geo-paleontological heritage.
Victor Beccari graduated in Biological Sciences at Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and studies in the Master of Palaeontology at Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT-UNL), Portugal. He studies dinosaurs and pterosaurs, focussing on the anatomical description and 3D modelling, using Image Segmentation, Photogrammetry and sculpting in Blender.
