Fig 4. Animal scans performed with R²OBBIE.

A) An adult day gecko (Phelsuma grandis) of 20.5cm (total length) scanned in the ‘static support’ configuration (74 pictures, ~5 minutes of scanning time) and reconstructed with PMVS (~6 hours of reconstruction time); upper panel, overall view; mid panel, close-up with shaded geometry and colour texture (double-headed arrow: 1mm); lower panel, same closeup with geometry only. B) Corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) scanned in the ‘hanging anaesthetised snake’ configuration (424 pictures, ~25 minutes of scanning time) and reconstructed with PMVS (~24 hours of reconstruction time); upper panel, overall view with shaded geometry and colour texture; lower panel, close-up of the shaded geometry with and without colour texture. Scale bars: 40mm (upper panel) and 5mm (lower panel). C) Sea urchin’s (Echinometra mathaei) skeleton scanned in the ‘static support’ configuration (30 pictures, ~20 seconds of scanning time) and reconstructed with PS (~20 minutes of reconstruction time); upper-left, photography under a stereoscopic microscope (scale bar: 1mm) without white-balance correction; lower left, reconstructed geometry with and without colour texture (with calibrate white-balance, i.e., the colour texture is realistic); upper-right and lower right panels, stereoscope image and reconstructed geometry of two small features (arrows) of the specimen (Scale bar: 100μm).
