3D scene scanning technology
A 3D SCENE SCANNER AND POSITION AND ORIENTATION SYSTEM
Objective: IRL has completed development to a laboratory stage prototype able to be deployed in field situations. However, IRL seeks an investor to complete the project to market readiness and global marketing, distribution and sales through a technology transfer deal.
Technology Description: A 3D scene scanner which can be used for generating 3D photo-realistic representations or 3D computer models of static objects or environments over wide areas (1 to 40m) - both indoors and outdoors. Also relates to an associated position and orientation system.
Advantages / Unique selling proposition:
- Speed: fast to deploy and scan, with less post-processing of data
- Hand-held mobility
- More complete scans: overcoming occlusions
- Registered digital images
- Optical 6DOF positioning
- Photorealism.
Applications:
- Computer gaming, videos, movies and education
- Refitting and as-built scanning
- Heritage and artifacts
- Forensics and archiving
- Others e.g. rapid scans for Armed Forces.
Project Development Status: Prototype built, operable both indoors and outdoors
IP Protection Strategy: US patent pending. Extensive know how developed
Organisation: Industrial Research Limited
