then run those frame through the SIFT algorithm

lidar is best

but you can strip the color out of the image with one command with opencv

A parrallel course to mine was making one such table thing that digitised phyiscal objects

lidar actually has a similar problem; coordinate systems

They got some serious backing from bosch

Like they not just used a laser array and a dome of monochrome cameras, oh no
that was too simple

Those lasers also measured distance each

yeah, I'm trying to integrate those two workflows so i can use photogrammetry info in cad and then laser data combined to photogrammetry

but everything uses different coordinate systems which aren't readily connected

In the end they abandoned the dome idea and went with a turntable that had an arch of cameras and lasers

Actually not an arch, more like almost a complete circle

a lidar array is the best way to go if you can afford the equipment

high accracy

it's just stitching such large datasets can be a bear

that's another area not connected; photo panaroma's and point cloud registration

One side contained lights and normal cameras (for colour data) and the other side had 3 horisontal laser lenses with an array of monochrome cameras and distance measuring inhole camera-chips

there are some kick ass open source tools but they are all insulated from each other

Rather smart reduction of component count

correct salute

Wrong audience

yeah, that's a common practice; i've been just dumping the pixel colors to a text file and the processing the rest as simple x,y, z

They abandoned the dome because it was just too much information

A lot of redundant and unnecessary data

yup, that's why u need to seperate it using linked lists...

i dump only what i need to a file and index that file with one other

then i load only the data i need

And as a bonus - when you rotate an object you get a stream of data related to the angle of rotation, so it is easier to encode, and then easier to troubleshoot/redo the areas that were not good

yup

I am kinda bummed they didn't make it into a product

I'd buy it

it's a big problem in alot of areas; people tend to what to have everything in one file rather than seperate out data in pieces and then use a reference to look it up in your scrupt

But then again another team (in connection with Frauenhofer institute) made a sinter-welding-metal-3D-printer
