Leptopglossus zonatus

3D Model

3D scanned Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas 1852) captured using scAnt, our affordable and open-source platform for the creation of digital 3D models of arthropods and small objects. ScAnt consists of a scanner and a Graphical User Interface which enable the automated generation of multi-view Extended-Depth-Of-Field (EDOF) images. These images are simultaneously processed and masked with a novel approach combining random forest-based edge-detection, adaptive thresholding, and connected component labelling.

This beautiful specimen was given to us by Christine W Miller CWMillerLab Body length: 19.38 mm (excluding antennae and legs)

• proboscis was fragmented during reconstruction with 3DF Zephyr Lite and thus re-modelled and textured in blender 2.8 based on the fragmented outline and captured EDOF images
