In this presentation from CNI's fall 2014 meeting, Günter Waibel and Vincent Rossi of the Smithsonian Institution describe and demonstrate methods being used to capture high-quality digital representations of some of the millions of objects housed within the Smithsonian, including some of the most iconic items within the collection. The methods include strategies to capture at scale, using "conveyor-belt rapid digitization" with throughput rates of up to 6,000 items per day. Use cases include 3D models of the 1903 Wright Flyer, Lincoln's Life Masks, and a super nova.
Smithsonian X Digitization: Rapid Capture for Vast Collections, 3D Digitization for Iconic Objects, a fascinating look at how 3D online models can turn Web visitors into active investigators, is now available online in its entirety:
