Will this work with small 5cm objects? For ages I am trying to find a good (and cheap) scanner able to scan small objects mostly used in cars. Had mixed results with tools like meshroom. I would immediately bi It a scanner when less than 1000usd.
This is for scanning larger things (rooms, buildings). For smaller objects, there's another open-source project that you might find useful: openscan.eu
Bookmarked. Looks like a great project. A bit off topic but semi related as this requires 3D printed parts. What’s a HN recommended 3d printer?
Author should look into surface reconstruction algorithms. E.g. https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/papers/eigentalk.pdf
How does this improve on taking a video with your phone and feeding it to one of the OpenSource 3D reconstruction packages (such as e.g. MeshRoom [1])? [1] https://alicevision.org/#meshroom
Meshroom definitely can't do 3D reconstruction from monocular video. But there are other algorithms that can. Just Google "3D reconstruction monocular" and you get loads of demos. E.g. https://youtu.be/TZ1eToXQwN0 Unfortunately I don't know of any that are open source and not research-project style code (i.e. weeks of work to maybe get working). Matterport are the market leaders in this sort of thing but it's commerc…
It's quite possible we're not talking about the same thing here, but for my understanding of what "3D reconstruction from monocular video" means, Meshroom most certainly can do that.
To wit, I recently shot a video of a house with my drone, which happens to have just one camera. I then proceeded to extract the frames of the video and fed them to Meshroom.
I am now in possession of a full 3D textured model of said house.
[EDIT]: now that I've watched the video you posted, I see they do the reconstruction in real time, which is cool and which Meshroom can't do. However, if you aren't in a rush, the end result is the same.
