At the beginning of August, two students visited us to take photos of one of our tents on behalf of the Antiquities Commission of the LWL. It was not just a matter of taking a few snapshots, but a total of several thousand pictures, with the help of which a detailed 3D model of the tent is to be created using the so-called "structure-from-motion" method.

While our tents are usually placed in a neat row close to each other, this time one of them stood all alone on a large meadow. In bright sunshine, photos were taken from every conceivable perspective and a camera drone was also used. Of course, it will take some time to process the pictures, but we are already looking forward to the results.

A report on the students' experience with this project can be found in the blog of the Antiquities Commission: https://blog.altertumskommission.lwl.org/de/zelten-mal-anders/ (in German)
