First Claim
1. A method for producing a digital photo comprising pixels, wherein at least one of the pixels comprise position information, the method comprising:
- taking a photo with a known geometry of the optical system with which the photo is taken;
recording the position from which the photo has been taken;
recording the direction in which the photo has been taken;
providing a three-dimensional model comprising points which are comprised by at least an outer surface of an object in the field of view of the position where the photo has been taken, wherein the points comprise position information;
relating a pixel on the one hand and a corresponding point in the three-dimensional model on the other; and
recording, in a manner associated with the pixel, the position information of the corresponding pixel.
