Laser + Webcam = 3D… maybe!
22 February 2008So here the new project i'm planning to work on: a 3D scanner!
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, lets start with them:
What I think is pretty simple (maybe too simple): the distance between the y axis and the edge of the object where the laser is beaming on, can be calculated using the delta value and some sines and cosines!
I'm not much of a math guy, but this sounds really easy!
x=delta/sin 60
Waaaaait… this may actually work!!!!
Oh and i've made some huge progress with my realtime webcam tracking program!
here's an example tracking my external harddrive blue led:
