CultArc-Scanner

Short Introduction

The CultArc-Scanner captures the geometry, texture, and optical material properties of objects through image-based processes. By scanning and documenting objects, it enables the preservation, communication, and interaction with cultural heritage. This opens up numerous opportunities for research, education, and digital art, allowing these valuable cultural assets to be protected and made accessible for future generations.

Description

The CultArc-Scanner, developed by the Cultural Heritage Digitization department at Fraunhofer IGD, employs innovative technology for the precise capture of objects. It consists of two aluminum arches equipped with cameras and light sources, allowing the object to be scanned from all sides. This setup captures material properties through light incidence and camera perspectives.
The scanning process is fully automated and takes only three minutes. The scanner can handle objects weighing up to 50 kg and measuring up to 60 cm in height and width. The resulting digital models are characterized by faithful reproduction and micrometer-level accuracy.

Use-Case

The application areas of the CultArc-Scanner are diverse, including digital archiving, web-based visualizations, and 3D printing. This technology plays a significant role in the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage.
