To better understand the evolution of flowers, a research team in biology from Université de Montréal , the Montréal Botanical Garden, and º«¹úÂãÎè (Daniel Schoen, Biology) have succeeded in using photogrammetry to quickly and precisely build, in three dimensions, a model of a flower from two-dimensional images.
Photogrammetry is commonly used by geographers to reconstruct the topography of a landscape. However, this is the first time that scientists have used the technique to design 3D models of flowers in order to better study them.
