General / Re: Sacrificing colour, for a better scan

Staying perfectly still is basically impossible, yeah. Resting against a surface helps. And I tried to approach the photos in sections at a time, taken quickly. A quick arc of five or so photos for a palm for instance, then the same for each finger, and a bit of masking in Photoscan. My thinking was that if a finger moves slightly, the discrepancy will matter less if the palm & other fingers are masked out, or out of frame. I still ended up with some artifacts from movement, but overall it worked.

ekbmuts, Yes, I just meant temporary, skins safe face/body paint. I used multiple colours, to make high contrast random patterns.

General / Sacrificing colour, for a better scan

« on: August 26, 2016, 12:28:06 PM »

I've been experimenting with improving scans using blotchy facepaint for some time, but starting to get pretty happy with my results now; thank you Agisoft!! I think you'd be hard pressed to get results like this from even the most high end laser scanner.
I'm still getting some slight artifacts here and there, but that's mostly lack of coverage, and unintentional movements.
I'm using a single camera, Sony a7, 35mm f2.8 lens (at f 22), macro extension tube, & Yongnuo ring flash.

Feature Requests / Re: After Align Photos, Image swapping?

« on: November 11, 2011, 05:14:22 AM »

Hey Lee, I've had success just renaming photos, like aligning the photos and building the mesh with photos that have an active projected noise pattern, then swapping all those photos to ones taken from the same position with no projected pattern to generate the texture, and that worked pretty well.
