Hi. I'm a marine biologist close to finishing his phd in the use of 3D imaging technologies (CT Scan, microCT, laser triangulation, multi-image photogrammetry, focus stacking, light sheet fluorescence microscopy,etc) for use in biological surveys, creation of 3D databases for collections and museums and 3D taxonomical imaging.
I was wondering if someone knows of research groups related or interested in this area.
Thank you.
Dear Luis,
I have worked in the use of 3D modeling techniques in the study of coral skeletons. In this discipline one of the differences is whether the survey is in situ or the modeling of biological material that has been moved to the laboratory. Which part are you interested in?
Hi Luis,
We use photogrammetry and structure from motion at the University of Sydney (Coastal and Marine Ecology Group and Australian Centre for Field Robotics) to quantify structural complexity of underwater ecosystems at multiple scales. I am the marine ecologist in the team and have worked with coral reefs and coral colonies in the past. Our group is slowly growing and we are setting up the 3D Modeling - Ecology Hub at the University of Sydney.
All the best,
Renata Ferrari, PhD
Dear Rana,
I have worked on both aspects of this type of research, and I am interested equally in both and also in the generation of digital 3D datasets for collaboration online.
Renata,
that's precisely an aspect of the research I've carried here. We found that photogrammetry is quite flexible at imaging several scales from community to corallite. It seems a very interesting group you have in Australia.
