Photogrammetry Turntable & Control Software

Описание

Photogrammetry has the great advantage to get impressive 3D models from real objects, capture their textures and colors as detailed as you want, and can be used with a common camera (or better a professional one like DSLR). Lasers instead are only used for 3d scanning and are limited to the capabilities of each product. This project consists in a motorized turntable design to do semi-automatized photogrammetry, using a microcontroller like ESP32/Arduino, or a Raspberry Pi instead, and a software to control everything. Is intended to use it with a DSLR camera to accomplish professional results, but it must work with other type of cameras (don't recommend it for professional results). The exclusive software made by me allows you to configure and control the microcontroller (that controls the step motor), and the camera via USB, so it will take the number of set photos and turn the platform every time automatically, waiting times, save the photos into the SD card/PC*, etc. So you only have to wait to finish a full turn to change the angle of the camera or the orientation of the piece and do a new sequence. The project includes: Set of STL's to do a basic turntable with a worm screw mechanism. This principle allows the motor to move the platform, but not the platform turn freely, so any undesired movement will be avoided. The base of the platform has leveling screws, predrilled holes to fit an ESP32 microcontroller and a expansion board for A4988 chip, and has slotted holes to…
