Metrics included pointwise height differences over the digital elevation model (DEM), and 3D Euclidean differences between corresponding points. The enhancement of spatial detail was investigated by blending high frequency detail from photometric normals, after a Poisson surface reconstruction, with low frequency detail from a DEM derived from SfM. %K Photogrammetry, structure from motion, 3D test object, photometric stereo, digital elevation model %B XXIII ISPRS Congress 2016, Commission V: International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences %T Accuracy Of 3D reconstruction in an illumination dome %D 2016 %P 69-76 %S International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences %V XLI-B5
