Realtime 3D geometry video scanner

This is a high-resolution, real-time geometry video scanner that simultaneously acquires, reconstructs and displays 3-D geometry at 30 fps with a resolution of 640x480. More info: http://www.vrac.iastate.edu/~song

What kind of GigE camera's did you guys use for the realtime liquid 3d scan system? They look like Dalsa's. AVT GE680 was used for this system, correct? It looks expensive. The Dalsa's look cheaper. I'm not so much interested in animated 3d live capture. I'm hoping for still & spinning 3d object capture. I'm hunting like mad to find as much information on these systems, see if there's a consumer build alternative. A HitachiCP-X275 XGA LCD was used for the liq sys. So it's good enough right?

@ALIVEWORKS The camera + frame grabber I used cost more than $7,000. If you only capture still object, my technology should not be the best choice.

It depends on the spinning speed of an object, if it spins at more than a few hundred rpm, even my system won't to able to capture it.

LCD projector won't be cable to do it. It must be a special DLP projector, and modify it in an unique way. Otherwise, it won't work at all.

Hope these give you enough information to start with.

Does anyone know a projector company who would like make a special DLP projector for all of us at reasonable low price? If you, by chance knew one, please let them contact with me. Everyone can then enjoy playing with this technology once they provide all of us low cost special projectors.

This requires a lot of expertise on both hardware and software. It was not easy for non-experts to reproduce: even my students couldn't. That's why it is so expensive and unique. Another problem is that the new projector has different operation mechanism, which makes it impossible to implement the same technique. The good news is that we are working on something that will simplify the system development. Once we are successful, we'll open, and the hobbists should be able to reproduce by then.

To me, It is a very simple stereo matching system......

[szhang77]

@liiton stero matching cannot do this resolution and speed for sure

[dsalpha18]

can you make it not so creepy?

[mrchaoslama]

you sound like sam from corridor digital.

[ableite]

would be a nice xbox kinect :p

[Unbeginner]

Does that mean actors haven't lost their jobs to computer graphics, but rather got new kinds of jobs?

Except they'll only be paid to do a face once, I guess.

WOW is cool

[Emeengor]

why is it not able to scan the entire room (like an eye does) ? just because of hardware limitations such as (resolution,refresh rate,framerate,focus of the camera etc) or are there any other obstacles?

Does anyone want diarrhea more like..

[MrCaduru]

This "complicated modification" sounds a lot like the removal of the color wheel...

[uyenst]

If a convenient store is open 24/ day 7 days/week 365 days/year, why do they put lock on the door =))

you kinda scared me, though :(
