3D Model

This is my first attempting to create a 3D model from video footage. For this experiment I randomly picked video footage of some archaeological site from Youtube. The only thing I looked for was footage that was clear, covered most of the subject, and its purpose was not for modeling from. The only preparation I did was to separate the video into a series of images and remove useless images. I was impressed by the results, and believe with a bit of work, the model can still be significantly improved.

I’m confident that if a video was better planned for the purpose of 3D modeilng, a very high quality 3D model can be made from the footage.
