Lab for the acquisition, distribution and visualisation of complex 3D models

Lab for 3D models 
Modern digital acquisition technologies can detect with great accuracy 3D objects of sizes ranging from microscopic, e.g. through electronic microscopy technologies, to planetary, through aerial or satellite filming. The models acquired in this manner, which are essential for a vast range of applications, from scientific imaging to geo-viewing, are certainly highly detailed, but, for this very reason, carry a huge amount of data, difficult to manage in an effective manner.
So it is essential to develop and use specialised technologies enabling effective use of the massive datasets acquired in large applications. The development of methods and systems for massive dataset handling is a very dynamic area of international research, in which the Region of Sardinia ranks among poles of excellence at both national and global level. In particular, the Visual Computing Group of CRS4 (Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia), also in collaboration with ISTI/NRC, has developed a series of methods for the visualisation of massive datasets which are currently considered at the state of the art by the international scientific community.

This lab supports innovation and technology transfer through demonstration and tutorial activities, as well as through the development of software prototypes. Main sectors are: 3D scanning technologies, digital storage and distribution of massive 3D models, editing, visualisation and 3D printing of such models. The lab will be provided with state-of-the-art equipment for the acquisition, processing, distribution, visualisation and reproduction of massive 3D models. Additional actions will focus on the implementation and demonstration of 3D scanning technologies, digital storage and distribution of massive 3D models, editing, 3D printing of models and geographic visualisation.
