Abstract

Various systems, methods and devices for capturing digital images of an object in a region of interest and for identifying points on the surface of an object in a region of interest are disclosed. A device operable to capture digital images of an object in a region of interest includes a support structure having an object support surface at the bottom of the region of interest; a scan head incorporating an imaging system comprising at least one digital imaging device located with respect to the support structure to have a field of view that includes a segment of the region of interest; and a first motive system operable to move the scan head along a fixed path between first and second vertical positions with respect to the support structure thereby to cause the at least one digital imaging device to have a field of view that includes a different segment of the region of interest. Various related systems, methods and devices are disclosed.
