Invisible or Ghost Mannequin Clothing Photography Invisible mannequin, ghost mannequin or hollow man clothing photography is an extremely cost effective and eye catching way to photograph your clothing range. As you can see by some recent images that we created to advertise a company's range of clothing, the clothing is photographed on a model or mannequin that is removed during the post production process to give the clothing a 3D look. It allows you to showcase your clothing both inside and out with the distraction of a real mannequin or model who may also hide some of the detail that you would like to reveal.   Most clothing requires a body shape inside of it to show it at it's best - flat laid images are always likely to be less appealing to your potential buyers.  It is a particularly effective method if you are looking to show off interior detail such as linings and also allows customers to visualise themselves in the clothes rather than comparing themselves to a model wh...

Photogrammetry in Commercial Applications The many uses of photogrammetry The use of photogrammetry is diverse, from simple orthomosaics, digital terrain and surface terrain models to specialist 3D models, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and thermograms, photogrammetry covers a very full spectrum of commercial applications. - An orthomosaic is a birds-eye perspective of surface topography, where the resulting stitched picture has been accurately reproduced from multiple smaller pictures. - Digital Surface Models (DSM) is an elevation model that captures both the environment’s natural and artificial features. It includes the tops of buildings, trees, powerlines, and any other objects. Commonly, this is seen as a canopy model and only ‘see’s ground where there is nothing else above it. - A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a bare-earth elevation model. DTMs do not contain any features above the bare-earth, even persistent ones. Thus, they can be paired with DSMs to deri...
