Together we will build a DIY Satellite Ground Station to be connected to the SatNOGS Network, which consists on a global open source network to get free access to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites.
Photogrammetry, or Structure-from-Motion, is a method of reconstructing the 3D model of an arbitrary object from a series of photographs using a digital camera. This technique can trace, record and represent geometries, textures, and sites both efficiently and relatively inexpensively. In this workshop, participants will learn how to systematically photograph things and the steps of processing digital images into a 3D model with Agisoft's MetaShape and Meshlab.
The workshop is structured in one practical session at Medialab Prado. In the first part of the session, the artist will explain
