| We all are accustomed with things like photocopier | | | | measurements there. |
| or 2D scanner. They took the picture of real | | | | The name reverse engineering can create a bit of |
| objects and then turn it into 2D photos. The | | | | confusion in many people's mind. When you |
| working style is more or less same in 3D scanner | | | | analyze something to understand how it works |
| or 3D laser scanner, but the output is not 2D, the | | | | and how the experts made it to work, is called |
| output you can see in 3D form. You can see its | | | | reverse engineering. There are many old aged |
| application especially in computer gaming field. The | | | | machines which need to be rebuilt. These reverse |
| environments and various objects have been | | | | engineering can help us a lot to understand how |
| usually created in the 3D scanner and | | | | these machine were built 3-4 decades ago, and |
| transformed into 3D objects, and then the | | | | they were supposed to work. After getting the |
| experts incorporate them in to the game. That is | | | | detail reports, the experts can then start |
| why when you play 3D games you can feel as if | | | | rebuilding these machines all over again. To |
| you are actually inside the game and feeling the | | | | accomplish these tasks successfully, you need to |
| heat of the game. | | | | use laser scanning technology. It will capture the |
| Today 3D laser scanner is not only used in | | | | frame and then demonstrate all the functionalities |
| computer games, but also you can see their | | | | in 3D virtual world. That is why many companies |
| usage in special effect movies and computer | | | | are using these techniques to make things easier |
| generated movies. The most applications of 3D | | | | for them. Though, you need to be cautious |
| scanning are reverse engineering and prototyping, | | | | because it may happen that the result produced |
| photogrammetry and industrial designs. You can | | | | in 3D laser scanning is not 100% correct, that is |
| find different scanning machines in different | | | | why you need to test the whole thing and then |
| technologies. The looks, characteristics and price | | | | start working in them. |
| also vary with that. When you need to transform | | | | 3D animations have also become hugely famous. |
| a real time object into digitized format you need | | | | You can use these technologies to make 3D |
| to be very cautious so that the measurements | | | | animations. But for that you first need to think |
| can be perfect. The word photogrammetry has | | | | about targeted audiences and then start working |
| come from two commonly used words, | | | | on that. 3D virtual world is interesting and can |
| photograph and science of measurements | | | | make you see many things which you were not |
| "metric". Earlier when there was only 2D modeling, | | | | able to see physically. Many companies are utilizing |
| the experts were unable to calculate the depths | | | | these features, especially those who work on GIS |
| and other measurement correctly. That is why | | | | or digitized maps. 3D scanner, photogrammetry |
| 3D surface modeling has come up so that one | | | | and reverse engineering have changed the |
| can understand the positions perfectly by seeing | | | | definition of maps and digitized photographs. If the |
| the pictures. They are just the miniature of the | | | | progress continues at this rate, soon we will touch |
