For photogrammetry, certain subjects and materials are more suitable for capture than others. Laser scanning compliments photogrammetry by capturing the shape detail of subjects and surfaces that would otherwise be difficult to capture with photogrammetry alone. Shiny surfaces are difficult to capture with photogrammetry because reflections create misleading data. Laser scanners can capture the shape of these shiny or reflective surfaces but do not capture the texture detail. Because of this, every laser scanned subject is also scanned using the photogrammetry method.

Thank you for testing this. The Laser Scanning course was intentionally unpublished due to release scheduling.
