Palaeobiology, locomotion & fossil footprints — using 3D imaging, AI, and robotics
Six years after the Arduino-and-Android original, the rig runs a Nikon Z8. The Arduino now only drives the turntable; gphoto2 fires the camera and the NEFs come straight down the USB cable onto the PC.
I've detailed my Arduino photogrammetry setup, first here when it just used my phone, then here when I cludged together a physical trigger in the form of a servo motor. That worked really well, and I've made a bunch of models with it that have come out absolutely superb. However, to get the servo motor... Continue Reading →
