Abstract | ||||
Choosing a suitable camera for photogrammetric-based scanners requires a comprehensive evaluation and an in-depth understanding of various factors, such as image quality, feature identification, field of view, working distance, etc. This study aimed to develop a digitalized tool that encodes available knowledge and best practices related to camera optics and imaging theory to facilitate metrologists' informed decision-making in camera selection for 3D photogrammetric scanners. MATLAB® was used to develop and implement the digitalized support tool and the related algorithms. Additionally, a user interface was created to facilitate the user to reach a recommended camera specification for a given application scenario. A specific scanning requirement was used as a case study to evaluate the developed tool, and the inclusiveness of the resulting data was tested using two different commercial industrial camera vendors. The results proved that the digitalized tool successfully closed the gap of knowledge metrologists may be challenged due to the different fields of expertise. | ||||
