Doru Oprisan Photography. Hugin tutorial — Surveying buildings. This tutorial shows an advanced use of Hugin in combination with a separate 3D modeller, the example used is the creation of a complex 3D survey of a building from a single hand-held photo. It is strongly recommended that you would be familiar both with Hugin and 3D modelling concepts before attempting this technique.
Note: There used to be a great tool for doing this sort of thing called Canoma, but it vanished a long time ago in a series of company acquisitions. It is possible to do something similar in Google Sketchup, but with Hugin we have a sophisticated and accurate lens model that gives us a much higher degree of accuracy than either tool, even if the process is slower overall. First here is a single photo, note that there has been no attempt to shoot 'straight-on', in fact the converging vertical and horizontal perspective will be useful for fine-tuning the lens parameters: (Click on the image to download the original) Tracing building elements 3D assembly About.
