3D Scanner

Abstract

The main idea behind this project is to obtain the outer surface of the object . so the straight forward  way that we considered is to slice the object to thin slices using a laser pointer formed into a line and aimed into the object, this laser line will take the outer shape of the thin part of object at this moment a camera positioned at a known angle captures an image of the object. And send it somehow to the  PC to be tilled later , then rotate the object so that laser line covers another part  of the object, repeat these steps until the whole object is scanned .The main idea behind this project is to obtain the outer surface of the object . so the straight forward  way that we considered is to slice the object to thin slices using a laser pointer formed into a line and aimed into the object, this laser line will take the outer shape of the thin part of object at this moment a camera positioned at a known angle captures an image of the object.
