Summary
Motivation
2d representations don’t capture 3D objects well

Structured light scanning
• example from CNR Italy
Michelangelo
project
• by Stanford
• used Cyberware
Arius 3D
• laser based – developed by CNR Canada
• RGB lasers give colour
Issues
•Cost
Image-based 3D reconstruction
techniques
• Image sequences of rotating objects
• Two approaches used:
– Silhouette-based only approach: CANON software
– Silhouette and multi-stereo technique: GET-ENST
approach
• For less complex objects with textured surface
• Required:
– good quality image sequences (precise turntable, good
lighting, photographic know-how)
– good silhouette segmentation
Turntable approach
• ENST scanner
3D laser acquisition &
reconstruction
• Using MINOLTA Vi 900 laser scanner (ARCHIDATA)
• Using reconstruction software
– Rapidform® (C2RMF, Cherbourg)
– Maya® (Quai Branly)
• User partners involved
– White clay Gallo-Roman figurines and moulds:
• C2RMF - Bourbon-Lancy
• C2RMF - Moulins
– Miscellaneous
• C2RMF - Cluny
• Cherbourg
• Quai Branly (external partner, negotiation for collaboration in progress)
