Rapid, without focus stacking, 3D photogrammetric digitization of cockroaches.

ABSTRACT: Natural history collections are seen as treasure troves we need to both preserve and study. Campaigns of 2D and 3D digitization have emerged in numerous institutions as an opportunity to maximize specimen's diffusion while limiting the risk associated to their manipulation. 2D and especially 3D models can be used for various scientific purposes. Because of different obstacles (time, technical limitations, cost, etc.), the digitization of small and numerous objects, like insect specimens, remains to be improved. Among the existing options, photogrammetry is generally less expensive than µCT-scan, two of the main methods for digitizing objects, but it remains time-consuming for small objects because focus staking-which involves a multiplication of shots-is strongly recommended to increase th
