David vs. Goliath vs. Blue Knob

привет!
and welcome back!

Today I want to introduce some scanning softwares to you.

I want to lay an eye on the "David Laserscanning" software and the Vi3Dim software.

The David solution:

Development of DAVID-LASERSCANNER started in September 2006 by German computer scientists Dr. Simon Winkelbach and Sven Molkenstruck, research associates of the Institute for Robotics and Process Control of the TU Braunschweig.

What you need:
A line laser, a webcam and two calibration papersheets in an 90° angle in the bachground.

Cost: ~70€ if you by all for yourself (but without the software, so if you want more you've got to pay more) or 399€ if you by the starterkit from their homepage.

Effort in scanning:

Well you need a calm hand and a lot of time to train the laser movement with your hand.

The Vi3Dim solution:

It's a small (maybe located in Isreal) company, which bring out this cheap software (~20$).

What you need:

A webcam and a printeable calibration checkerboard.

Cost: ~ 60€

Effort in scanning:

Just spin the board slow around his axis.



Resumee:
So I think the Vi3Dim solution is the best for the moment. But Im not totally agreeing because for the Vi3Dim you need an texture on the Object. For the David solution you just need an object. But the tests will show us an result!

That’s it for today. But stay tuned, because:
Progress never sleeps!
