Abstract

Collections of biological specimens are essential in entomology laboratories for scientific knowledge and the characterization of natural varieties. It is vital to liberate useful information from physical collections by digitizing specimens, allowing them to be shared, examined, annotated, and compared more readily. As a result, current research has concentrated on developing 3D modeling machine systems to digitize insect specimens. Despite many great outcomes, these systems have certain drawbacks. In this research, a new scanning machine is proposed for creating 3D virtual models of insects. Our method has overcome certain previous constraints by aiding in the automation of the entire imaging process at a low cost, lowering shooting time, and generating 3D models with accurate color, high resolution, and high accuracy of insect samples with small sizes and complicated structures. Because of its ease of installation and modification, our system may be expanded and utilized in a variety of settings and areas.

一种低成本的数字3D昆虫扫描仪

在昆虫学实验室中，收集生物标本对于获取科学知识和描述自然物种特征至关重要。通过对标本进行数字化处理，使其更易于共享、检查、注释和比较，从而从实物收藏中获取有用信息至关重要。因此，目前的研究主要集中在开发三维建模机器系统，以实现昆虫标本的数字化。尽管这些系统取得了很多成果，但也存在一些缺点。本研究提出了一种新的扫描机器，用于创建昆虫的三维虚拟模型。我们的方法克服了以往的一些限制，以较低的成本实现了整个成像过程的自动化，缩短了拍摄时间，并能生成色彩准确、分辨率高、精度高的三维模型，适用于体积小、结构复杂的昆虫样本。由于其易于安装和修改，我们的系统可在各种环境和领域进行扩展和使用。
