Laser 3D Scanner Using Raspberry Pi - Cornell Project

Learn how these Cornell undergraduates used a Raspberry Pi, a camera and a laser to make an accurate 3D scanner capable of producing digital meshes of physical objects. LEARN MORE... New Circuit Cellar Magazine comes out every month with new articles going live regularly on https://www.CircuitCellar.com/Trending WATCH NEXT: Build a Robotic S’more Maker Using Raspberry Pi hardware, Python Programming and a Robotic Arm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaD-5jarfaI "Our Laser Scanner project is a Raspberry Pi-based embedded system device that’s able to digitize objects into .obj mesh files for reproduction using 3D printing. The device does this by utilizing a line laser and the Pi Camera to perform computer vision. The laser is positioned 45 degrees askew from the laser, and projects a bright red line on one vertical slice of the object. The camera detects the slice’s distance from the center to give a mesh slice. The object is spun on a rotating tray, and the process is repeated until the full object is scanned. The generated .obj file is emailed to the user."
