Hypothesis

Can molded markers improve the accuracy and usability of photogrammetry systems?

Conclusion

The study demonstrates that molded markers can enhance the accuracy of photogrammetry systems, achieving a median accuracy of 0.170 mm/m.

Supporting Evidence

  • The study achieved a median accuracy of 0.170 mm/m with molded markers.
  • Polarimetric images improved detection rates significantly under poor lighting conditions.
  • Data augmentation techniques enhanced the training of the detection model.

Takeaway

This study shows that using special molded markers instead of stickers can make measuring things in 3D easier and more accurate.

Methodology

A two-stage detection algorithm was developed, combining deep learning for initial detection and classical methods for accurate localization.

Limitations

The molded markers may not be suitable for highly curved surfaces or areas with extreme deformations.
