In this hands-on course, students will delve into the fundamentals of photogrammetry workflows as a foundational step in transitioning from the physical realm to digital 2D and 3D environments. This course emphasizes practical skills in working with photogrammetric equipment, primarily digital cameras, and mastering specific processes to extract precise geometry and positional data. The acquired knowledge and skills will empower participants to recreate real-world objects and scenarios within a virtual three-dimensional space.

This block seminar will introduce the basics of volumetric and temporal rendering and imaging with such techniques as Neural Radiance Fields and Gaussian Splatting.
