La fotogrametría es una técnica utilizada para obtener información métrica y geométrica sobre objetos y entornos a partir de fotografías. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo proponer metodológicamente e integralmente la digitalización de muestras mediante fotogrametría con algoritmo Structure from Motion (SfM), orientada para su visualización en entornos de realidad aumentada y virtual. Metodológicamente se realizó revisión del estado del arte en las diferentes bases de datos académicas y científicas con el fin de conocer las tendencias referentes a los diferentes métodos integrales para la digitalización y visualización de muestras en entornos de realidad aumentada y virtual; posteriormente, se seleccionaron muestras y se acondicionó el entorno para la captura fotográfica y para el procesamiento fotogramétrico y modelado 3D se utilizó el software Agisoft Metashape Professional. La metodología integral propuesta para la digitalización de muestras geológicas mediante fotogrametría con algoritmo Structure from Motion (SfM) ha demostrado ser una herramienta eficaz y replicable para la generación de modelos tridimensionales de alta calidad. El uso de software especializado como Agisoft Metashape permitió obtener representaciones digitales precisas en términos geométricos y texturales, a partir de imágenes fotográficas capturadas bajo condiciones controladas.
