Abstract:
3D reconstruction technologies have evolved over the years. In this paper we try to highlight the evolution of the scanning technologies. The idea of a survey came up with our decision to look at 3D reconstruction methods. Little has been written about the methods in general, yet many developments have taken place in this area. This survey will prove useful for those intending to embark on research in 3D reconstruction technologies or are considering acquiring a 3D scanner. The survey takes a look at the major reconstruction methods, which are; Laser triangulation, Stereoscopy, Conoscopic holography and Moiré Interferometry. A review of the major producers of scanning technology for 3D reconstruction is also carried out.
