Case Study of 3D Scanning and Processing to Create Virtual 3D Plant Objects For Education

This article presents the successful application of the EinScan HX 3D scanner in scanning various plant species, leading to the creation of 3D virtual representations of plants. The study involved conducting 3D scans on two plants exhibiting distinct geometric shapes and sizes. These scans were executed using two different methods: Rapid scanning and laser scanning. A comprehensive analysis of the scanning techniques was performed, considering their effectiveness in capturing different plant characteristics. The findings are thoroughly documented and presented in the report. Furthermore, the acquired results will be instrumental in establishing a digital library featuring 3D virtual representations of protected plant species within their respective ecosystems. In addition, this resourceful approach unlocks opportunities for leveraging the generated 3D objects in diverse fields such as architectural interior design and education.
