Low-Cost 3D workshop

Braunschweig, Germany: 18-20 November 2026
Low-Cost 3D (LC3D) is a series of international ISPRS workshops on low-cost three-dimensional sensor systems and tools, ranging from low-cost acquisition devices like handheld scanning systems over inexpensive photogrammetric algorithms to processing software and applications. Initiated by Prof. Frank Neitzel from Technical University Berlin and Prof. Ralf Reulke from Humboldt University in Berlin, the workshops were initially organized and hosted in Berlin (2011, 2013, 2015). In 2017, the 5th workshop was hosted by the HafenCity University Hamburg; in 2019, the 6th edition took place at INSA Strasbourg, France; in 2022, at the University of Würzburg, Germany while in 2024 at the University of Brescia (Italy).
The 9th edition of the ISPRS Low-Cost 3D workshop will be held at the University of Braunschweig in (Germany) from November 18 to 20, 2026.
The event will be in conjunction with the Optical 3D Metrology (O3DM) workshop. These two complementary ISPRS scientific events will provide delegates with a wide range of topics centred on 3D reconstruction and optical 3D measurement systems and applications. Participants could join both events with just one registration fee.
The main focus of the ISPRS LC3D workshop is to discuss new developments in low-cost 3D sensor technology, algorithms, and applications.
Topics include:
Image- and range-based low-cost sensor systems
LC sensor calibration and system integration
Accuracy investigations in LC sensor systems
Automation in data registration
Point cloud analysis
Image matching and 3D reconstruction
LC sensors including open-source and free algorithms for terrestrial and UAV 3D modeling
LC systems for Virtual and Augmented Reality applied to the visualization of 3D models
Lightweight and Edge-Devices
Radiance Fields or Gaussian Splatting applied to LC sensor data and processes
Applications of LC sensors and processes, e.g. in emerging fields, such as digital construction
Keynote by Prof. Andreas Nüchter, University Würzburg, Germany: "Mixed-Media Towards Precise 3D Scanning and Photogrammetry from Air into Water"
Invited talk by Anthony Pamart, CNS, France, will talk about "MicMacRoom: the integration of MicMac and Meshroom"
