Scan of a Nissan Qashqai using Volume Stitching

11 Replies

A few days ago we tested our new feature volume stitching which enables the rough alignment of multiple volumes. We did a quick scan of a car using 1.5m sized volumes. What you can see below is the raw output of ReconstructMe without any filtering or post processing, except slightly repositioning of one of the volumes. We made up a promo video demonstrating the process and the results:

As you can see, ReconstructMe is running on a laptop and we are using the Asus Xtion Pro Live for better mobility and flexibility in scanning. We have a quite big release in the queue featuring among other things

  • Volume stitching
  • 3D Surface preview
  • PLY file support

Stay tuned.

Gallery Update – ReconstructMe + ZBrush

Skaale sent us the following reconstruction of Tine. Glasses where used to increase the resolution, which probably required manual stitching of the individual views.

Here’s a turntable animation of the final result

Gallery Update – Mirrors

MagWeb uses mirrors to cut down reconstruction time to a third when compared to a standard walk-around turn. Here are a couple of images.

And a turntable video of the result.

In case you like to know more about how to do that, join our discussion.

MagWeb, has done another incredible stunning scan an open-top Fiat 500C. Here’s a video of a turntable animation of his results

MagWeb will post images later on in the newsgroup and we intend to provide the resulting CAD model, once we have resolved legal questions.

Character Creation with a ReconstructMe Scan

7 Replies

We have created a full body scan one of our coworkers while using a bigger volume, and he used this as the basis for a character animation.

  1. The most difficult part of the scanning process was to stand still and not move the arms. We solved this problem by letting the model hold a broomstick in each hand :) This data was later removed from the CAD scan.
  2. To animate the skin of the character a biped system from 3Ds Max was used.
  3. Finally, With Motion Mixer from 3Ds Max, several BIP files were loaded to affect biped motion.

The result looks quite stunning! Here is a video with the result:

Here are some more screenshots:

Zoom Lense Results

MagWeb modded his Kinect with 2.5+ glasses (zoom-lens) to increase the resolution in near range. He applied a custom depth calibration and was able to reconstruct nearly 360°. Here are some early results.

Incredible Scan of a Fiat 500C

MagWeb provides us the following incredible scan of a Fiat 500C, stitched and fusioned from 33 volumes.

Besides ReconstructMe, MagWeb uses DAVID for stitching and fusioning the volumes and Meshmixer for cleaning up. As soon as we get hold of the 3D model, we will update this post.
