"First Disappointment" Photogrammetry Test and Cleanup

“This statue depicts an incident in the life of one of the sculptor’s daughters, who had avidly followed the hatching and rearing of a nest of birds, only to be overcome with grief when the fledglings departed. Palmer, who was self-taught, was among the first American sculptors to break with the prevailing neoclassical style and adopt a more naturalistic approach.”

I will be rebuilding the sculpture using photogrammetry and digital sculpting.

Reference. On display at the Walter's Art Museum in Baltimore MD. I took a series of 35 images.  My program was able to align 25.
