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 |
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
