Face and Body Scanning / Re: GoPro rig for Full Body Scan

« on: December 18, 2015, 07:02:39 AM »

Trying to find an inexpensive camera/input for a rig. Is the Hero2 a viable option, or are the Rasberry Pi? inputs better. Specs of the Pi are only 5mp, compared to 12mp on a Hero2.

Anyone else have this kind of question?

I've made a system with 100 Pi units but in order to get usable results, you need noise projection. GoPro Lenses are too distorted so I would not recommend it. Maybe a cheap point and shoot (canon?) might be the best affordable solution but I never seen anything that works yet.

It depends on what kind of light source you own. I you really want flat light, surround the whole set up with translucent silk and use about 8 light umbrellas and light them from all direction. If that is not possible, purchase a cheap strobe or LED light and use softboxes (at least and light it very evenly. But it always helps to have a white wall surrounding the setup. especially floors.

General / network process

« on: December 29, 2014, 10:21:27 AM »

I am quite impressed with the new features of Photoscan and seriously considering upgrading to the pro version. My primal interest is usage of network process and cutting processing time since we have 7 computers. I want to try it out but there's no instructions whatsoever so it will be great if someone can give me a quick run through.

Thanks,

Shotaro
