Architectural photogrammetry – Mosaicing methods

Foto mosaico con DigiCad 3DIt is often impossible to take the entire facade of a building in just one photograph. You have to take several photos then mount them together in a mosaic to form the picture. 

Many programs claim to do mosaics of several photos, but what they actually mean can vary a lot. Some do no more than straighten up several photos in one document, leaving the user the task of mounting them together as best he can, with programs such as PhotoShop.

Excluding such kinds of program, many other alternatives remain:

How to deal with the crazy parameters of the ‘Old World’ buildings

 

80% of architectural work in Europe is done on old buildings. This is undoubtedly also the case in any country with an architectural heritage of buildings made of stone or other durable material, of equal or greater importance than any new construction work .

This means working with an incredible variety of non-standard construction elements. Some architectural CAD programs attempt to solve this by increasing the number of parameters, but it is a hopeless struggle, because the number of construction elements is infinite and it is near impossible to cover all eventualities. So the parameter problem becomes a real obstacle to the architect.
