Title: Point Clouds on a Shoestring
Instructor: Kean Walmsley
Course Description: Have you always wanted to play around with point clouds but your boss will not buy you an expensive laser scanner? Come to this entertaining class to see how it is possible to use "free" technology, such as Microsoft® Photosynth®, to generate 3D point clouds from 2D photographs. See a live demonstration of a real-world object being "captured" using nothing but a digital SLR and then brought into AutoCAD® 2011 as a 3D point cloud. We will also spend some time looking at AutoCAD 2011 point cloud capabilities and the state of "reality capture" technology in the industry. A separate session in the Customization and Programming track, "Integrate F# into Your C# or VB.NET Application for an 8x Performance Boost," will take a look more closely examine the technology shown in this session.
