| Research Abstract |
Our primary goal is to create the three-dimensional computer model with photo-realistic textures of a small real object in a short time. As a technique for attaining this purpose, we applied to a wide-field microscope equipment the IBM&R (Image Based Modeling & Rendering) which specialized in the small object.
The wide-field microscope equipment which we developed has two optical systems, confocal optics system for depth information acquisition and non-confocal optics system for color information acquisition.
Our approach is a new method of photography that helps anybody digitally archive minute structures that existing capturing systems cannot deal with. For research use, it is an effective way to make high-fidelity virtual specimens of small objects that allow scholars to share the precious academic resources over the Internet in a digital format. For commercial use, the virtual models captured by the technology can be applied to computer graphics, games, digital cinemas and other digital entertainment media.
