![]() ![]() Fine detail or lack of detail, hidden surfaces, glossy surfaces, and transparent or semi-transparent volumes are a few of the challenge areas. However, making 3D images faithful to the original still has challenges for many specimens. Recent articles have described 3D recording projects at the Smithsonian () and at the Natural History Museum in Berlin (Mallison et al.). 3D imaging, with its vivid appearance and viewer interaction, can vastly increase the audience for these “buried treasures.” In addition, 3D imaging also provides archival recording and a valuable tool for research access. Many of the specimens in such collections are in storage and unavailable to the public. This has only become possible through the rapid improvements in scanners, cameras, software and graphics processors that now enable 3D capture of subtle details, shadings and textures. More and more 3D imaging is being used for archival recording of collections of artistic, historical and natural specimens. ![]() of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University of Applied Physics, NYU Tandon School of Engineeringĭavid Brown, Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell Universityĭrew Harvell, Dept. ![]() If you’d like to learn more about photogrammetry or 3D Printing, please contact you Peter, David and DrewĪrchival 3D-Imagery of Challenging Subjects This printer was able to bring Peter’s digital captures to life.
