Researchers have developed a new photogrammetry workflow using high-resolution images from a Canon DSLR and an iPhone 16 to create detailed 3D models of rubberised concrete. This method offers a sub-millimetre resolution alternative to traditional LiDAR systems, which are often too coarse for analyzing fine-scale defects like microcracks. The workflow includes an RGB-guided crack extraction technique and deformation analysis, establishing a robust geometric baseline for future automated defect characterization and material performance evaluation in laboratory settings.
