Advances in technology and the software
development in photogrammetry are still very
rapid and have resulted in vastly improved
accuracy and user-friendliness in recent years.
It is likely that some aspects of our guide will
become obsolete through future technological
and software improvements. For example,
Falkingham (pers. communication April 2014)
found that between his submission of
Falkingham (2012) and its publication,
“photogrammetry methods saw a speed
increase of ~10-100x – models that had to be
done over a couple of days can now be done in
an hour or so”. However, we believe that the
majority of our suggestions for photographic
procedures will always help in creating a clean
dataset of paleontological objects.
