*3차원 이미지 스캐닝 어플 ETH zurich transforms android smartphones into 3D scanners

스마트폰 어플은 끝이 없다. 3차원 이미지 스캐닝. 아직은 베타버전이지만 새로운 이미지의 세계를 연다. 그리고 3차원 프린팅을 이용 컨트롤 씨, 컨트롤 브이가 된다.

researchers from the computer vision and geometry lab of ETH zurich have developed an application for android operating systems that turns an ordinary smartphone into a mobile 3D scanner. rather than taking a regular photograph, a user simply moves the phone around the object of interest and after a few motions, a three dimensional model appears on the screen. as the user keeps moving, additional images are recorded automatically, extending the wireframe of the virtual object. as all calculations are programmed into the software, the user gets immediate feedback and can select additional viewpoints to cover missing parts of the rendering. the system utilizes the inertial sensors of the phone, extracting the camera views in real-time based on kinetic motion capture. the resulting 360 degree model can be used for visualization or augmented reality applications, or rapid prototyping with CNC machines and 3D printers.
