3D Scan

3D Scan of Sculpture

3D Laser Scanner e.g. for interior of a room

Idea

3D Scan creates a digital representation of an observed threedimensional object. The resulting digital object of the observed object has also 3 dimensions i.e. can be handled in with software in a threedimensional coordinate system.

Learning Modules

There a different options to create digital 3D object from an observed real world object.

3D Scan with Digital Camera

An ordinary digital camera can be used to create a 3D point cloud of large buildings with multiple images as input and the application of the OpenSource software Regard3D

• • Digital Camera with information about lens properties
  • Software: Regard3D
  • Theoretical Background: Photogrammetry
  • Example:

Source Object	3D Model
Karlsburg Durlach - Germany	Regard3D - Generate 3D Model with just 14 images from different angles from the ground (no drone images) without the cleanup of the 3D mesh

Drone Mapping & 3D Scan for Digital Elevation Model

Scan a large part of the landscape and create a 3D point cloud or digital elevation model (DEM) as 3D Scan of the landscape.

• Device: Drone with Camera
• Software: Open Drone Mapping

3D Scan with Kinect

Kinect Sensor

3D Scan of an Object

Kinect and Makerbot - this includes also the printing with a specific product

• Devices: Kinect for 3D Scan and Makerbot for printing
