PhotoModeler Scanner provides the tools for you to create
accurate, high quality 3D models and measurements from
photographs. The process is called photo-based 3d scanning.
PhotoModeler Scanner is a 3d scanner that provides results
similar to a 3d laser scanner. This 3d scanning process
produces a dense point cloud from photographs of textured
surfaces of virtually any size. To compare PhotoModeler Scanner
and other 3d scanning technologies read our white paper: 'A New
Way to 3D Scan.'
The PhotoModeler Scanner software has all the capabilities of
the base PhotoModeler product plus the capability to do Dense
Surface Modeling (DSM), 3d scanning and SmartMatch.
Dense Surface Modeling is used in any application where a large
number of 3D points are needed. The surfaces being modeled
need a natural or random texture (or that texture can be
applied or projected). Most applications where a 3d laser
scanner works, DSM will work also.
Some DSM applications are:
Archaeology: get a dense cloud of points of stratified
dig surfaces; non-contact scans of artifacts.
Architecture and Preservation: obtain a dense
surface cloud of a stone wall or structure; capture the
detail in a building facade.
Art / Museum / Curatorial: non-contact surface
scans of bas-reliefs, masks, and some statues.
Civil Engineering: models of cuts and fills in road
work; models, surfaces and measurements of stock piles;
sand dune surveys for erosion monitoring.
Film and animation: scan sets and objects for
modeling; help produce highly accurate bump maps of real
surfaces.
Forensics: 3D scans of bite marks; 3d surface scans of
tire marks and foot imprints in soil and wet sand.
Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Measurement:
surface shape of manufactured parts (using a projected
random pattern); modeling deformation of fabrics and
gossamer materials.
Medicine: 3D scans of skin surface for body
morphological measurements; point clouds and surfaces
of a childs back with scoliosis.
Mining, Excavation and Geotechnical: surface models of
open pit mine faces, cliffs, exposed rock
characteristics; models of slag heaps and stockpiles;
volcano monitoring.
