AUTOMATIC 3D CHICHA SCANNER

STEP 15: APPLICATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

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.

9. What questions need to be answered?
- Is it possible to develop a software that generates a 3D Picture of an object just by uploading the pictures of the object's layers?

10. What is the schedule?

11. The folllowing criterias must be met:
- Servomotor opens plastic tap when moved from 90 to 140 degrees.
- Webcam takes pictures of the scanned object layers.
- Servomotor is syncronized with the Webcam (Arduino IDE and Processing programs are synchronized via Serial communication).
- Scanned object layers are stored in a folder (Created by Processing).
