Can you describe your entire desired workflow from image-capture to final 'product' ?
The long answer replyI aspire to this
http://ir-ltd.net/scanning-with-ir/ - but priniting 3D figurines. [
Infinite Realities use over 100 DSLR's - a lot of money]:
I quote
"...IR can scan 100′s of expression scans in under an hour, dozens of t/a-pose full-body scan costume changes an hour, or 100′s of dynamic poses an hour.
The system is now designed to be 99.999% reliable, NO dropped frames, NO black images and super fast. It’s now very easy to capture high resolution, super detailed scans of humans in a split second. Processing takes time but most projects can be delivered in around 24-48hrs thanks to IR’s custom built render / processing farm built specifically for photo reconstruction."For 3D printing [given current printer resolutions] I think multi P&S may be adequate [for body section at least]
Truth is I haven't yet purchased the photogrammetry application [or any cameras (P&S or DSLR)].
So, I think i'll take the plunge and
(i) purchase two [wireless enabled] P&S [IXUS 240 HS ? - pity SX280 not available for 60fps 4D investigation with your new synch cable !] and a single 10 port usb powered hub
using this i'll try and get the chdk / chdkptp side, largely, understood.
(ii) i'll then purchase
- single EOS 100D
- DSLR / Studio Flash Controller [http://www.cameraaxe.com/]
- Arduino controller
- serial to parallel latch chip (74HC595)
- optoisolators
- FET's
- sundry components
- studio flash
- standard edition photogrammetry software 'Agisoft Photoscan' http://agisoft.ru/products
With this, i'll work out the DSLR / Studio Flash / P&S integration
http://www.dreamingrobots.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=44&start=10I'll use this configuration to capture multiple sets of images of a 'tailors dummy' - feed the images into the photogrammetry app and [assuming all goes well] expand the system.
Perhaps an all P&S system will suffice.
Perhaps a mixed DSLR (head) / P&S (body) is required.
Perhaps i'll migrate to a complete DSLR system over time.
Perhaps Kinect 2 will make all of the above redundant.
So,
the short answerCan you describe your entire desired workflow from image-capture to final 'product' ?
I don't think that I can [but it would probably be best to do that before step (i)

This is about as close as I have previously got to a workflow
