scAnt - open-source 3D insect scanner

3D Model

scAnt is an open-source platform for the creation of digital 3D models of insects and small objects. scAnt consists of a scanner and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which enable the automated generation of multi-view Extended Depth Of Field (EDOF) images. These images are then masked with a novel approach combining random forest-based edge-detection, adaptive thresholding, and connected component labelling and can be processed further with a photogrammetry software package of choice, including open-source options such as Meshroom, to create high-quality, textured 3D models.
