1. What will it do?Algorithm:
Servomotor
moves from 90 to 140 degrees -> Plastic tap is opened -> 24
seconds pass -> 1cm height of the machine's second floor is filled
with Chicha
-> Servomotor moves from 90 to 140 degrees
-> Plastic tap is closed -> Webcam takes a picture -> Picture
is stored in Processing folder -> 5 seconds pass -> Process is
repeated 12 more times
Function in simple words:
It will
take pictures of an object's layers using a servomotor, a plastic tap,
a webcam and chicha for allowing the user to use them later for
reconstruct the solid using Rhinoceros
2. Who's done that beforehand?-
Chicha scanner technique is a Peruvian variation of the Milkscanner
technique. This last technique consists of constantly pouring milk on a
bowl while taking pictures with a camera on a tripod.
Here
is a Youtube video that shows how Millkscanner techniquemworks. It
should be said that the automatic aspect is the innovative side of my
final project, as highly increases the efficiency of the
Milkscanner technique.
