Sly Lee is a Marine Ecologist and Toxicologist that has been exploring the use of technology to document coral and the marine ecosystem. Currently Sly is using photos of corals to generate 3D models using Autodesk Recap Photo to document coral and examine changes over time.
Sly is currently based on the island of Molokai Hawaii but spending much of February in Guam, Saipan, and Palau. I will be doing some underwater research work with Sly in May and am really looking forward to it.

You can explore a couple of the coral models interactively.

Last week I did a number of tests with ReCap 360 capturing my 3D Connexion SpaceMouse Wireless. The results were the best I’ve had with any Autodesk Photogrammetry software. However, it has the height of the SpaceMouse ~30mm incorrecy. ~80mm instead of 54mm. Is the user expected to index the scale of the object within ReCap every time?
A small consumer electronic such as a mouse due to the shape/contour, surface texture, and size would not be ideal for any photogrammetry solution.
