Thank you so much! The resolution is this high, because it is a linear sensor, moving along some axis. This effectively results in an image of size sensor-pixel-count^2 or more, depending on how far the sensor moves. I was using the hardware from an Epson v37 scanner. I would advise against building one, if you don't really want to. The information provided in the video and the 3d model, is absolutely not sufficient to quickly build one. You would have to figure out most things on your own. I sadly didn't really finish the project, which is why there is no tutorial or anything. With a tutorial, it would be very easy to build one :/

@@yunuszenichowski thank you for your reply! Now I understand the megapixel part. This camera genuinely have great potential to take great experimental pictures, if printed can be sold as artworks ha ha. I am kidding. But if you would like to take back and work on this project. I am up for helping you out with this project. Anyhow I can do it. But I would love to collaborate with you if you feel comfortable.

@@TheHitesh74 The reason I didn't continue to work on the scanner camera idea is that there is a huge bottleneck for how good and especially practical/usable the camera can be, due to the fact that it is basically an off the shelf scanner, packaged in a new enclosure with some hacks. For example, you have to keep a laptop attached, since it is still just a scanner. Originally, I was interested in building a scanner camera from scratch, even designing the circuit boards, but then I realized how unattainable that goal was with the time I was willing to spend on it. So I just skipped that idea. If you are by any chance a high speed circuit designer, then I would love to collaborate :) Designing just a slightly refined scanner camera that is again based on some consumer scanner does not really interest me.

I am not sure, but you can measure it in the 3d model.

@@yunuszenichowski I will have a look.. thank you again

@@hoonsikkim1115 your welcome! Good luck with your build!

Haha, don't confuse this with anything remotely comparable to boston dynamics work. They have certainly inspired many tinkerers.

Oh I absolutely enjoyed it! Big fan of your work ❤

I tried to express clearly that it's not a finished model. There need to be 2 small bearings in the slit, and the gear has to be printed with a 0.2 mm nozzle. It's also extremely important to reinforce the gear shaft with a m3 screw. There should already be space for a threaded insert. I never tried to print the gear with a normal-sized nozzle, so it's nice to know that the smaller nozzle was actually necessary. I am sorry for causing trouble like that. If you have more questions/problems, you can contact me via email, y.zenichowski@gmail.com

@@yunuszenichowski yeah I understood that the design wasn’t finished but I’ve managed to figure out of modify almost everything else. I appreciate the help. I will print the gear with a .2mm nozzle. Do happen to know the part code for the bearing you used? I will email you if I have any further questions thanks!!

@@will3346 I sadly can't give you any hint at the "right" bearings, because I would have to disassemble my camera to find out, just pick whatever fits. I used 2 to increase the vertical contact area with the shaft. There also is a major design flaw with the model that I only fixed after the video, the sensor has to be turned by 180º otherwise the image is mirrored and the color channels misaligned. Anyway, I am really happy that the video could inspire others to build one as well! That's awesome!

@@yunuszenichowski by pure coincidence I have already rotated the sensor by 180 degrees. However as I’m using a slightly different sensor from a V200 I’ll have to play around with it after assembly.

Hi, thank you! What exactly do you mean? The 50x refers to the video speedup compared to the original realtime/simulation and rendering speed. It's rendered using a fast volume rendering technique.

Hello, okey, so you have recorded the simulation with some program and played it back at 50 x. On the other hand, could you share what fast volume rendering technique have you used, indicating paper or some technical document? I am very interested in volume rendering Thanks

@@alejandrol9358 Sure! This resource was really helpful: subscription.packtpub.com/book/game-development/9781788296724/1/ch01lvl1sec08/7-gpu-based-volume-rendering-techniques Later I hacked together a very basic and slower ray based volume renderer, but it handles high transparency at high resolution better. The mushiness In the video is because of that transparency problem.

True tbh, you could compact it down as well by removing the lens and just placing the negative directly against the scanner. Wait...

​@CulturalCats lol

I had implemented a mechanism that controls the light using a diy limit switch and potentiometer (I believe 0-50k ohm). There should be some information about the details in the comments already.

I am sorry, but too busy to continue something like this. I hoped that someone would pick up where I left off.

Yes, linear sensors have an enormous scaling advantage. They only require the square root of pixels of an area sensor for the equivalent resolution. So it's extremely cheap to go high in resolution. Obviously there is a price to be paid though.

@@yunuszenichowski Okay then, I was just asking because back in the day I looked into film scanning and was told that most scanners can't practically do more than about 16mp per 35mm frame and after that it's just fake upscaling.

@@fandyus4125 most scanners are designed for A4 paper, which is about 72 times larger than 35mm film, so the resolution of the scanner would have to be over a gigapixel to achieve 16mp film scans.

@@yunuszenichowski Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation! It for sure is very impressive what you've made here.

@@fandyus4125 your welcome, thank you :)
