Abstract

In this project, Microsoft Kinect was used as a medium of low cost 3D scanner where the Kinect Xbox 360 was used as a measuring device to scan the frame scene of an object. The objectives of this experiment were to generate the new concept of a low cost active 3D scanner, analyze its structure by using finite element analysis and to produce detail design by using solid modeling software. An engineering design methodology was used as an approach to generate this new concept design. In this method, a brainstorming approach was used to obtain the design with the conceptual design and its specification. Morphological chart was used to generate few design and by using Pugh chart method analysis, the concept design comes out with final conceptual design of rotating platform with complete engineering design characteristic. This platform was used to place the Kinect Xbox which will moves into 360 degree to capture the different types of object in order to analyze the accuracy. Whereby, this accuracy of each data was obtained by using calculation of percentage difference between real object and scanned object. Skanect software was used to capturing the full color of 3D model, where this open source software will transforms Microsoft Kinect into low cost 3D scanner and able to create 3D meshes. From the result, sport shoes has the highest percentage difference of 8.6% followed by chair with 6.25% and the lowest was the shoes box with 1.6%. Thus the present of the open source software and hardware, this Kinect Xbox 360 sensor was able to be used as low cost 3D scanner and by implement the technique of moving sensor can reduced the percentage difference which can make the values near to accurate.
