TY - JOUR AU - AB - The optical methods for 3D modelling of objects can be classified into two categories including image-based and range-based methods. Structure from Motion is one of the image-based methods implemented in commercial software. In this paper, a low-cost and portable system for 3D modelling of texture-less objects is proposed. This system includes a rotating table designed and developed by using a stepper motor and a very light rotation plate. The system also has eight laser light sources with very dense and strong beams which provide a relatively appropriate pattern on texture-less objects. In this system, regarding to the step of stepper motor, images are semi automatically taken by a camera. The images can be used in structure from motion procedures implemented in Agisoft software. To evaluate the performance of the system, two dark objects were used. The point clouds of these objects were obtained by spraying a light powders on the objects and exploiting a GOM laser scanner. Then these objects were placed on the proposed turntable. Several convergent images were taken from each object while the laser light sources were projecting the pattern on the objects. Afterward, the images were imported in VisualSFM as a fully automatic software package TI - A LOW-COST AND PORTABLE SYSTEM FOR 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF TEXTURE-LESS OBJECTS JF - The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences DO - 10.5194/isprsarchives-xl-1-w5-327-2015 DA - 2015-12-11 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/a-low-cost-and-portable-system-for-3d-reconstruction-of-texture-less-04P97DZOlJ DP - DeepDyve ER -
