Abstract
With the contribution of new technologies, the 3D digitization of museum collections opens great possibilities to perform conservation, research, education, and dissemination tasks in a more versatile, accessible, and attractive way. Although these applications have been carried out throughout the last decade in some institutions, the use of these technologies in public museums is still very limited. In this context, there is a demand for new photogrammetric systems for 3D digitization of cultural heritage. In this chapter, the state of the art of photogrammetry with Structure from Motion as well as methods, instrumental setup, and software systems are reviewed. Based on this technique, an example of an easy low-cost 3D digitization system for low-budget public museums is presented. Their applications in the local public sphere are described, and a work plan for 3D digitization projects is proposed to be implemented in public museums that do not have easy access to this type of technologies.
