Plants in a flat


  • I am considering options to acquire depth information on a flat of small plants (10" by 20") and am considering the THREE for a fixed application using a single scan at a distance of around 800mm to the surface.   All that is required is collecting the scan using the api,  the conversion to a depth map would be on me.

    My questions are:

    -  Would plants be a candidate for a fixed single scan application a good deal of height variation in the scan?

    -  Would a slighter greater distance to around 900mm be possible in single scan mode,  allowing a slightly bigger scan area.

     

     



  • I'm attaching some single scans so you can get a picture of what it looks like. The room lighting was off during scanning and the blinds were partially closed, so the lighting at the scanning location was around 91.5 lux. Distance measured from the front of the scanner to the plant stem. Scanning plants is quite tricky, but up to 80cm distance it could probably be used, but at 90-100cm scans you really lose a lot of detail and I wouldn't use them personally. The ones from that distance maybe just for rough alignment of other scans, but I'd probably skip them entirely.

    Hope this helps you out somehow. I don't normally scan plants. I tried scanning a dried rose once and didn't have enough patience for it =D but I was curious myself how the scanner would handle scanning from greater distances, since I usually scan smaller and medium-sized mostly mechanical objects at a max distance of 50cm from the object.
