Image Analysis Technology Applied to Problems in Crystallography

Abstract

This work summarizes the procedures accomplished toward the objective to develop a demonstration capability (Proof-of-Concept) of three dimensional object modeling using close range photogrammetric techniques. Static stereo views and three-dimensional perspective scenes of crystals were to be developed using the same technology that is applied in displaying three dimensional earth surfaces. The work included the creation of close range photogrammetric capabilities to work along with various existing display capabilities. The imagery for this project was provided by the 3M Co. It was acquired using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The softcopy concept was demonstrated to the Office of Commercial Programs National Aeronautics and Space Administration at Autometric (Alexandria, VA headquarters).
