3D Scan

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:

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.
 * Device: Drone with Camera
 * Software: Open Drone Mapping

3D Scan with Kinect
Kinect and Makerbot - this includes also the printing with a specific product
 * Devices: Kinect for 3D Scan and Makerbot for printing
