Think about Microsofts photosynth which stitch a series of images to create a fisheye type images, now imagine this idea but using 150’000 or even 500’000 images found on the web to build 3D models of cathedrals or even cities etc.
LiDAR and Nottingham caves
LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an absolutely amazing optical 3D scanning system, in Nottingham they use this technology to map 450+ caves located around the city, which for me sounds like the most amazing adventuress vacation idea ever, but this 3D ture in a flow of millions of scanned dots is an equal exiting experience.
need to scan in 3D
3D scanners use to be as expensive as trucks or even houses, but with the advancement of DIY you can now scan objects for only a few hundred bucks.
