# 3D process

- [Introduction to the 3D workflow](https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/context.md): These guidelines provide an introduction to the 3D workflow, from data capture and processing to publishing your models online.
- [Data capture](https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/data-capture.md)
- [Active systems: short range](https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/data-capture/short-range-techniques.md): Two popular short range techniques are described on this page: Laser Triangular (LT) and Structured Light (SL).
- [Active systems: long to mid range](https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/data-capture/long-range-techniques.md): Time of Flight (TOF) and Airborne lidar (airborne laser scanning) techniques are described on this page.
- [Passive systems: photogrammetry and other image based methods](https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/data-capture/multi-scale-image-based-methods.md): This page describes traditional photogrammetry and semi-automated image-based methods Structure-From-Motion (SFM) and Dense Multi-View 3D Reconstruction (DMVR).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
