How to integrate 3d scanner on a robot?

Answer
You could use gamma rays which might pentetrate through an object and bounce back. Normal light cannot penetrate through opaque solids like metal, and thus high frequency waves would be preferable. Another way would be to implement several scanners that would fly around the object and gather data from thousands of angles. Miniature robotic cameras shaped like a cube could be attached to 5 high power propellors (1 per face of the cube, leaving 1 face open for the camera itself) to ensure full mobility for the cameras. They could then be programmed to fly around the object and could possibly use electron scanning technology to measure the countours of the object. The mini-robots would then fly back to the main robot and upload the data, which would be pieced together and could be visually displayed in a 3 dimensional graphing program. The miniature robots would have to account for wind resistance and external interference (for example, if someone blew on a mini-robot, it would have to propel towards the wind in order to retain its current position). It's very possible, but would be extremely expensive and would take a good research team many years before it could be completely perfected for commercial use (or private use, if you have millions of dollars to throw out).

3D modelisation of antic statues?




Ella. H


I would like to create a 3D database (files readable in AutoCad or 3DsMax) of an important collection of antic statues of the museum i work in.

But i don't know what tools / equipement i need, and how much it cost. Help me please, i need it.



Answer
3D scanners are available including smaller scale with finer detail that would require moving the pieces to the scanner and larger scale where laser beams scan from semiportable devices that can be taken to the statues.
I would expect the former to cost $500 to $1000 and the latter to range upward from there.
The problem is that costs will vary by your location and the services available locally. An area with a number of firms making 3D scans for parts reproduction, etc. will have better opportunities than one in the boondocks.
This search for "3D scanning Dallas" produces about as many prime choices as I expected
https://www.google.com/search?q=3D+scanning&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=3D+scanning+Dallas&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial
with prices from a miniature USB item under $90 to $9000 hardware and many services - I expect that there will be some distortion of what I saw as Google tries to force items from your area into the search, but Dallas should provide a sample and you can check out both your immediate area and the nearest big city if you are not in one.
