A new technical article by CNR Roma is available in our archive, for registered users.

The article named "Experimentation of a three focal photogrammetric survey system as non invasive technique for analysis and monitoring of painting surfaces decay condition" is written by Salonia, Marcolongo and Scolastico of CNR, Institute for Technology Applied to Cultural Heritage.

It describes how the ZScan Micro technology is applied to monitoring and evaluation of frescoes laser cleaning and quantitative pictorial material loss detection.

Menci Software will take part to Intergeo 2010 . The event will be in Köln from 5th to 7th october 2010.

You can find us as exhibitor at Hall 11.2 stand 2D.112.

Menci Software announces StereoSpace, the new product oriented to 3D stereo view.

StereoSpace is the software specifically developed to bring photography up to a new level: from now you may expand the horizon of perception by adding a third dimension to your pictures!

Menci Software made the most of the innovative Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D camera, developing a photogrammetric application that matches both amateur and professional’s requirements: actually, StereoSpace allows you to automatically create 3D pictures that will add depth to your memories or, your choice, use its powerful CAD tool to extract measures from an image, draw on it, and export in popular formats.

Specifically engineered for any situation in which superior descriptive level is required, StereoSpace comes with everything you need to shoot wonderful 3D pictures that you can measure and visualize on a common tv or pc monitor.

Capturing an ancient monument’s features for scientific purposes, making inspections or insurance documentation, or simply making holiday pictures “come alive”, is today possible with StereoSpace.

Here two video about past DIANA 2010, the event organized by CNR of Pisa.

The event was about numismatic and study of ancient coins in order to catalog and to check their authenticity.

Menci Software gives a preview of its numismatic project for coins 3d scanning. 

Francesca Ceccaroni presents the company, main activities and the project in general.

and pratical demo by Claudio Tortorelli:

Z-Block module offers an innovative bundle algorithm that allows to automatically compose several 3D models in a single result.

This sample shows a marble path, scanned by ZScan. The original fifteen 3D models were bundled by Z-Block (included into ZScan) to following point cloud.

All the works is done without use of data collected by total stations or other instrument.

Here a video of the same model.

ZScan Dynamic is a part of mobile mapping project that involved Menci Software in collaboration with Codevintec and NTR.

 With ZScan Dynamic is possible to get an accurate street survey and elaborate data designed for GIS database.

With ZScan Dynamic, developed by Menci Software, you can georefer each point visible on images took by cameras, while car is moving.
Through that information you can measure and localize every street detail.
The city contexts mapping become easier and fast.
