Together with MTU Maintenance, Fraunhofer IOF has developed a portable photogrammetry sensor (weight 1.3kg) that enables flexible 3D acquisition, e.g. of aircraft engines. The goScout3D automatically creates a 3D model containing high-resolution shape, color and texture information. The principle of photogrammetry was supplemented by the position and orientation data of an inertial measurement unit (IMU). These thus allow the coarse determination of the sensor movement and thus the selection of images with overlapping image contents.
