With the focus of this iteration being images, I decided to start my own attempts at scanning in order to improve my technique and experiment with the mechanics of 3D photogrammetry. After I fully understand this, I will begin the assembly of my scanning platform that loosely resembles a couple existing models and is tuned to operate properly based on my own experiments with different backdrops.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/Photon_open_600px.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-58 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/Photon_open_600px.jpg\" alt=\"A compact laser-based scanner platform \" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A compact laser-based scanner platform<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_55\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/Untitled2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-55 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/Untitled2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Untitled2\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">3D Assembly of my shoe, with issues<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>For my first attempt at capturing a 3D object, I tried to map my shoe on a glossy, wood surface. I took about 15 total images from various heights and plugged them into the 1 2 3D Catch program.<\/p>\n<p>To my dismay, the program was confused with the assembly of the images for a number of reasons. Lighting was a big issue with the light reflection changing off my shoe with every different image. Another issue I ran into was the reflectivity and pattern of the platform. This realization through research and experiments will change my platforms design in that I originally planned to use a plain white backdrop.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/bphoto3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-57 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/bphoto3.png\" alt=\"bphoto3\" width=\"590\" height=\"390\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advice given to tune up my photoshoot<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>My second capture went much smoother, after watching a tutorial about how to set up a proper photoshoot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/IMG_4680.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-56 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.evergreen.edu\/brentbmaking\/files\/2014\/11\/IMG_4680-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"One of the photos I took of the box.\" width=\"788\" height=\"524\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the photos I took of the box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I placed my box in the line of fire and snapped away the recommended 50 photos.
