工研院之三次元擷取與顯示技術發展 薛文珍　Wen-Jean Hsueh 工業技術研究院　光電工業研究所 .tw/3D ABSTRACT This paper gives an overview of the research and development activities in 3D surface digitizing and autostereoscopic display conducted at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan. As a major technology and consulting service provider of the area, for the past decade ITRI has developed 3D laser scanning digitizers ranging from low-cost portables, industrial CAD/CAM digitizing, to large human body scanner, together with 3D surface modeling software for total solution on reverse engineering to process large quantity of 3D data sets acquired from digitizers. On the other hand ITRI has for the last five years devoted to cultivate capabilities in the design of autostereoscopic display systems. Based on both hardware technologies in optics and electronics, and software technologies in 3D surface modeling and imaging, ITRI is now exploring innovative methodologies that provide higher performances, including hardware-based algorithms with advanced camera designs, optical tracking and motion capture for animation, and 3D display design concerning human factors. It is expected that both the needs for easy and fast high-quality 3D information and display in the near future will grow exponentially, at the same amazing rate as the internet and the human desire for realistic and natural images. Introduction The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan has been devoting to the research and development of 3D surface digitizing and modeling for almost a decade, and in 3D autostereoscopic display for five years. As a major technology and consulting service provider of the area, ITRI has developed 3D laser scanning digitizers ranging from low-cost compacts, industrial CAD/CAM digitizing, to large human body scanner, with in-house 3D surface modeling software to provide total solution in reverse engineering.
