15-112: placeHolder (2020)

The project, titled placeHolder, was an exploration of photogrammetric techniques written from-scratch with Python. It is an inquiry into quick generation of site geometry (buildings, roads, etc.) for use in site mapping and architectural design.

First, the user selects two 360-degree panoramic images either from google maps or elsewhere. Then, placeMaker interprets the selected images and detects edges. Finally, the program cross-references the images to place them in 3D space and allows the user to fly through and examine the projected geometry.
