It's pretty rewarding scanning stuff, and you can get good results
using a laser liner.
I worked with a few people at my previous employer (ViSLAB) to make a
laser scanner a few years ago (2005) using a laser liner and a lazy
susan (turntable); mixing the two together, we called the project
LazyScan.
Here's an old (out-of-date, partially complete wiki page):
- http://wiki.vislab.usyd.edu.au/moin.cgi/LazyScan
At demos we usually scanned Mr Potato-head and the monkey shown in the
image on the wiki page, but I couldn't find many images of results
online. Only this one of a (boring) box:
- http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/?q=node/8
The software was written in C under Linux. I've often thought about
revisiting it with a simpler design (a handheld device), and releasing
the software as Open Source. Not too much impetus given that David 3D
Scanner is available cheaply though.
Although it would be neat to see what results you could get with one
of those new "pocket projector" which could scan a large area at once!
Hmmm...
