Printgrammetry: Google Earth Imagery Based 3D Model Generation for VR Applications

This work proposes a workflow methodology that acquires and processes Google Earth imagery to generate 3D Virtual Field Environments (VFE) using SfM algorithm processing software. These models can be visualized in MOSIS V2 (Multi Outcrop Sharing and interpretation System - Vizlab) software and can transport earth science academics to any high-resolution environment from Google Earth in immersive virtual reality (iVR) with a set of geological tools for interpretation and teaching.
