3D Scanning

• Digitising an object from the real world
• capturing its shape and form
• create a high resolution 3D polygonal mesh
• Does not define the material of a surface

3D Scanning Setup

Different capture methods for different subjects

Static subject

• Single DSLR – Capturing all angles of a subject “i.e. building”
• UAV – Use an aerial camera device to capture angles from above
• Lidar – faro scanner

Moving subject 2D

• Synchronised stills capture from many angles
• Not mobile

4D

• Requires gen-locked video cameras
• Not mobile
• HUGE DATA!!

What Next?

• Incorporating motion capture into body scanning
• defining surface material from photos
• multiple lighting setups
• advanced automation
• rapid processing
• 4D enhancements
• Light field video

Watch for:

• Magic leap
• Microsoft hololens
• Reality capture
• Agisoft
• Nels Isrealson
• Hammerhead vr
• Timeslice films
• Autism and vr: 3dnovations
