New 3-D scanner makes impact at Eglin
When the 46th Test Wing’s Air Force SEEK EAGLE Office purchased a 3-D laser scanner system six months ago, they had no idea how much of an impact this system would make. “This is state of the art,” said Mark Hillman, lead engineer at the SEEK EAGLE. “We are breaking ground for the military.” The [...]
New imaging system produces 3D models of monuments using unmanned aircraft
University of Granada researchers have developed a 3D imaging system that scans 3D models of historical buildings using data obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. This is the first 3D imaging system to combine the use of UAVs, image-based 3D modeling technologies, and virtual representation of models to [...]
3D MAW (FWD) explores the use of unmanned helicopters
Improvised explosive devices have changed the way the Marine Corps engages hostile forces. The need has risen for supplies to reach the most remote parts of Afghanistan quickly, reliably and safely. Late last year, the Corps began experimenting with the K-MAX – an unmanned helicopter, able to transport large amounts of cargo and reduce the [...]
3-D holographic technology provides detailed human intelligence
Imagine going from looking at the outside of a building, to seeing the internal workings of its electrical system simply by walking around a display case. The sophistication of 3-D holographic technology allows just that. For Soldiers on the battlefield, the level of intelligence they’re getting about a dangerous location — like a site they’re [...]
Russian military to introduce ‘virtual battlefield’ training
The Russian military intends to move towards “virtual battlefield” military training by 2013, Chief of the General Staff Gen. Nikolai Makarov said on Wednesday. He said the news system would be “comparable and in some aspects even superior to those implemented in countries with the most advanced military forces.” The general said the new system [...]
DARPA Completes 3D Holographic Display Technology Demonstration
Many of today’s conflicts occur in urban settings, making the ability to visualize conditions in urban areas increasingly important to commanders and mission planners. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently completed a five-year program called Urban Photonic Sandtable Display (UPSD) that creates a real-time, color, 360-degree 3D holographic display to assist battle planners. [...]
3D Technology Helps Helicopters Land on Sand
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and industry partners have showcased new technology that helps helicopter pilots land more safely in sandy and dusty environments such as those found in Afghanistan. Scientists from Dstl, part of the Ministry of Defence, have led the technical development of a pioneering approach to the problem of a [...]
Converting 2D Photo Into 3D Face For Security Apps And Forensics
Boca Raton FL: It is possible to construct a three-dimensional, 3D, face from flat 2D images, according to research published in the International Journal of Biometrics this month. The discovery could be used for biometrics in security applications or in forensic investigations. Xin Guan and Hanqi Zhuang of Florida Atlantic University on Boca Raton explain [...]
New 3-D retina imaging equipment improves care
Members of the 23rd Aerospace Medicine Squadron optometry flight here recently conducted training with a new piece of equipment that helps them diagnose ocular diseases and announce Airmen as ready for duty. The high-definition optical coherence tomography machine allows optometrists to clearly see the retina. “The HD-OCT machine lets technicians clearly see what is going [...]
