"Reconstructing the three-dimensional (3D) form of living organisms in their natural habitat is a challenge and, currently, there are no methods enabling reconstruction over a wide range of field conditions and animal sizes and forms."
The research team of Ylenia Chiari, Bing Wang, Holly Rushmeier, and Adalgisa Caccone from Yale overcame this challenge by using PhotoModeler. The quote above starts their accompanying paper ( 480KB pdf). When they started this project they did not have access to PhotoModeler Scanner so they used another scanning method in conjunction with the base PhotoModeler product. The Scanner results shown above were completed after the paper was published and show that PhotoModeler Scanner would have fit well into their work. |
