Three-Dimensional Scanner for Archeological Artifacts patent pendingDaniel Hahn, Kevin Baldwin, Donald DuncanInventors
Technology – Purpose • Obtain 3D data on the scale of 1-50 µm using a non-contact method • Laser scanners bottom out at ~50 µm • White-light interferometers, amongst other techniques, are sub-micron • Profilometers are contact instruments and can get “stuck” on sharp features
Technology – Prototype Design Stationary Components Camera Projector Telecentric Lens Telecentric Adaptor Lens ND Filter V-block Mount Elevation Stage (stationary) Rotated Components Rotary Stage Optical Bench
Technology – use photometric stereo to measure fine resolution shape (local) Rough sphere Cuneiform tablet
Technology – use structured light to measure course resolution shape (global) 3/4 inch Cuneiform tablet
Technology – algorithm developed to combine data sets into 3D model 25 µm xy resolution 2 µm z resolution 3/4 inch Cuneiform tablet
Technology Applications • Can be used to scan any diffusely reflecting object • Scalable to achieve wide range of object sizes and resolutions • Produces very accurate 3D data set (2 µm z-resolution, 25 µm x,y-resolution)
Commercial Applications • 3D data on any diffusely reflecting object: • Historical artifacts • Fossils • Gemstones (temporarily painted) • Rocks • Mechanical parts
Commercial Opportunities • Measurement and recreation of mechanical parts • Forensics • Archiving / preserving historical artifacts • Scientific research
