I need to reconstruct soybean root into 3D model in computer so that quantitative traits can be measured easily. I've got thousands of plants thus manual is not an option. I've observed a couple of 3D reconstruction software but none fits. So I specify the question as, what is the suitable software of 3D reconstruction considering these conditions:
1) object is within 10X10X10, so it's relatively small
2) the root is in medium B5 and is cultured in round long bottles individually
3) root is thin
4) I got good SD camera
5) I prefer 2D imaging to CT-like technique.
Can I find good software for my work?
Have you tried photogrammetry?
There are a lot of software, like Agisoft PhotoScan or Autodesk 123D Catch.
Yes, 123D Catch able to register few images into 3D models. Or you could try mathematical-based software like Matlab, but programming is required. Hope this helps.
Definitely recommend PhotoScan ... 123D catch is VERY limited.
There is skill in taking the photographs.
