Vic, summer 2019.

Two students of Mechatronics Engineering and one student of Biology from UVIC-UCC have been doing Summer Traineeship at Mecamat Research Group.

Jaime Aparicio is developing a Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) machine.

RTI is a computational photographic method that captures a subject’s surface shape and colour and enables the interactive re-lighting of the subject from any direction.The enhancement functions of RTI reveal surface information that is not disclosed under direct empirical examination of the physical object.

Brandon Aranibar is developing a 3D scanner for archaeological artefacts. The project consists of making a 3D scanner using two scanning techniques; photogrammetry and laser triangulation, in order to get a high fidelity 3D model and a low cost budget.

Adrian Montealegre is doing a review of Eocene fossils from the Osona site. He participated in a micro-XRD experiment at ALBA Synchrotron analyzing the mineralization and preservation of different sirenians bones.
