In this section we describe possible requirements and then suggest the best choice of camera/scanner for those requirements.
• I want to create models quickly and I want them to look good, but accuracy is not my prime concern.
Use a low-end or consumer-grade digital camera or mobile phone.
• I want the best accuracy PhotoModeler can give me, and I am not too worried about cost.
Use a very high-end digital camera. Calibrate the camera using the Camera Calibration and verify with field use and calibrations. Use high contrast circular targets and the sub-pixel target marker.
