(Instructions for using DSLR cameras in the section below. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds The easiest way to get your scanner up and running is through installation of our pre-configured anaconda environment: Please refer to our Thingiverse page for a full list of components. We have now added support for DSLR cameras for Windows operating systems as well. The pipeline and GUI have been designed specifically for use with FLIR Blackfly cameras, and Pololu USB Stepper drivers.
ScAnt is supported by 64 bit versions of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 (newer releases of Ubuntu will likely work but have not been tested). An updated version of the scanner construction files will be made available on our Thingiverse page. Please refer to the official documentation to check whether your camera model is currently supported. scAnt 1.1 now supports the use of DSLR cameras on Windows 10, in combination with DigiCamControl.We also updated the respective stacking, masking, and meta data scripts to accomodate a wider range of applications. As this increases the hardware demand during scanning, it may be advisable to run stacking and masking separately (see provided python cli scripts), instead of during scanning. scAnt 1.2 Significantly improved image capture speed for FLIR cameras.
scAnt-an open-source platform for the creation of 3D models of arthropods (and other small objects) PeerJ 9:e11155 Īll structural components of the scanner can be manufactured using 3D-printing and laser cutting the required files are available for download in. Some examples of models generated with scAnt can be found on as well as on our Sketchfab Collection! scAnt provides example configurations for the scanning process, as well as scripts for stacking and masking of images to prepare them for the photogrammetry software of your choice. ScAnt is an open-source, low-cost macro 3D scanner, designed to automate the creation of digital 3D models of insects of various sizes in full colour.
