Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

3D scanning is important because the ability to digitize awkward or troublesome shapes from the real world can really hit the spot. One can reconstruct objects by drawing them up in CAD, but when ...

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...

Exclusive: Apple's AR executives talk about why iPhones and iPads are transforming into world-mapping, object-scanning tools -- and why that matters more right now than glasses. I started with CNET ...
