SUMMARY:3D reconstruction with Photogrammetry
DESCRIPTION:The Brown Institute is pleased to announce the launch of Volumetric Reporting\, supported by a Provost Teaching and Learning Grant for Emerging Technology\, a seminar and training series which will explore the affordances of volumetric capture and its applications in journalism. The series will begin with talks by Francesca Panetta\, formerly of The Guardian and the MIT Advanced Virtuality Lab and Shourideh C. Molavi of Forensic Architecture — who will introduce applications of volumetric capture for reporting and storytelling. Talks will be followed by two workshops introducing students to the technology and then creating 3D spaces from images using photogrammetry. \n3D reconstruction with Photogrammetry  \nRegister \nIn this session\, we will learn the basics of Photogrammetry – a method used to take measurements and calculate depth using images captured with any camera\, including the ones on your smartphone. Photogrammetry can be used to reconstruct objects large and small – from a plate of food to a terrain captured using a drone. We will cover guidelines for photographing an object\, and then use the software Agisoft Metashape to process an example. The exported object can later be used for immersive experiences in Augmented or Virtual Reality or embedded into a written article on the web.

SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session I (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nFor Points Unknown: Session I (Spring)\, students will be provided an overview of spatial data and what constitutes a map. Following a presentation on concepts\, we will introduce the software we will use throughout the spring module (QGIS)\, and begin by making a basic map. \nRegister to Attend

But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nIn session 2 of Points Unknown\, we will move beyond basic maps to begin working with various types of spatial data\, including data from the Census. We will make a variety of visualizations from this data\, and perform basic spatial analysis. \nRegister to Attend

Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nTo conclude our series\, we will switch gears and utilize Google Earth Pro and Adobe Illustrator to export high resolution 3D earth imagery and add annotation layers to it. This is a very common technique for visualizing movement and space\, and we will walk students through the process from start to finish. \nRegister to Attend
