Online Course – 2nd edition
July 27th-August 5th, 2021
Online live sessions Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th of July; and Tuesday 3rd, Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th of August; from 14:00 to 17:30 (GMT+2, Madrid time zone).
Course OverviewThis course is addressed to researchers and technicians who work with complex structures and need to digitize their samples for different reasons, such as digital preservation, geometric morphometrics, biomechanics analyses, etc.
The goal of this course is to explain how you can obtain 3D virtual models from surfaces, using photogrammetry. These techniques and technologies offer the possibility to obtain 3D models of the external morphology of the samples including colour and texture of a wide size range of specimens with medium – low cost and fast approaches.
By the end of this course, participants should be able to obtain high-quality digitalization of samples with the most commonly used techniques.
They will also be able to edit and manipulate the digital models to prepare them for use in typical analytical software.
Main software that you will use during the course: Reality Capture, Agisoft Metashape, GOMinspect and Meshmixer. Temporal licences will be provided for the course.
All participants must have a computer (Windows, Macintosh, Linux). Webcam and headphones are strongly recommended, as well as a good internet connection. You will need a camera to do the exercises.

Transmitting Science started in 2012 to manage specialized courses and workshops we were already organizing within our own partnerships. Up to date, we have already run more than 120 advanced courses in different topics related to Life Sciences.
All the courses are self-financed with participant’s fees and we strive to keep the fees to the minimum necessary for running them.
Our courses cover a wide range of research methods and are aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and established academics from all over the world.
