Bezmiechowa airfield 3D digital surface model extracted from data collected during 30min flight of Pteryx UAV Made with Python Photogrammetry Toolbox GUI and rendered in Blender with Cycles. Principle Digital surface model of motorway interchange construction site Real photo x SfM with texture color x SfM with simple shader. In biological vision, SfM refers to the phenomenon by which humans (and other living creatures) can recover 3D structure from the projected 2D (retinal) motion field of a moving object or scene. It is studied in the fields of computer vision and visual perception. Structure from motion ( SfM) is a photogrammetric range imaging technique for estimating three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional image sequences that may be coupled with local motion signals. Not to be confused with structure from motion (psychophysics).
