columbia-bmp.rarThe original raw bmp scan data.(244956 bytes)
columbia.rarThe original scan data as a .RAW triangle file. ***WARNING*** This file was created using a naive version of delaunay triangulation - an algorithm that was lossy and broken. This file is rar archived and might kill some 3D packages because it is very high polygon.(2312849 bytes)

Software

filename description
SplineScan3.zipThe original windows VB prototype - WARNING: This code sucks. Python is about 10x faster and smaller. This code is for information only. (8304 bytes)
c-scan-22-9-8.zipsneak preview of next gen scanner - will change in April (4842 bytes)
linescan.tar.gzThe is a module designed to process linear scan data. The python script takes a directory of laser line scan images and convertw them into a 3D point cloud. This should work for CNC mounted laser rigs, as some users have requested.(2398 bytes)
python-scan-p1.tarThe first python prototype. This python script will take a directory of laser line scan images and convert them into a 3D point cloud. This is MUCH faster than the VB equivalent, and can only get faster as the code is tweaked.(7680 bytes)
setup.rarThe Win32 executable of the Lugradio scanner prototype. Tested on WINE on Ubuntu Hoary. Source code of this executable will be added after the Lugradio exhibition on 25th of June.(1999404 bytes)
snapshot-1-3-06.tar.gzA Snapshot of all modules from 1-3-06. Includes:
scantopoints.py - scans raster data to a single slice.
gapfill.py - merge scantopoints slices into hole free point cloud
mergepoints.py - Merges slices created by scantopoints.py without hole-filling (2799 bytes)
ss-smoother.rarThe Win32 EXE that actually works - sorry for the confusion folks. Install setup.rar, and then unrar this exe into the same directory. Run the ss-smoother.exe file to do scanning. Thanks to D Bowman for pointing out the fault in the setup.rar version. (18758 bytes)
