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 Object3D 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.
