Abstract

In this paper, new development of a sensor rig device with infrared sensors is used to reconstruct the 3D image of an object’s surfaces. Five sensors have been used to acquire data that measure distance from the object and sensors. A stepper motor controls the object rotation with 2 degrees per turn. A few objects such as tulip, curvilinear, flower and star shape have been selected for data collection, and the results proved that this sensor rig device is capable of reconstruct a 3D image of an object’s surface. A prosthetic model with distinct size in diameter was tested to prove that this device is capable of measuring distance with different size. From the results obtained, this sensor rig device shows a capability to reconstruct 3D image of an object surfaces with simple post processing technique. A prosthetic object was tested and results show that the accuracy was around 75%.
