Overview

Skip Steuart is the inspirational leader of the Steuart Imaging Systems team of programmers, engineers, scientists and mathematicians. Skip himself can be described as all of these things. He has worked tirelessly on the development of OTIS, an Omnidirectional, Three-Dimensional, Imaging System for over 20 years. Skip has invested substantial time and money into OTIS and he’s still 100% vested in it’s future.

Along the way there have been many accomplishments and spin off technologies. Skip’s goal has remained the same: Create the best 3D imaging system in the world!

OTIS is a camera-based scanning system that creates photorealistic 3D models of textured meshes. These models can be viewed on the web or used by popular 3D applications like Blender and 3D Studio Max. The camera-based 3D-360 system is a cost-effective alternative to laser scanning systems.

There are three parts to OTIS:
#1 The OTIS Camera
#2 The OTIS Computer
#3 The OTIS Software

There have been many prototype OTIS cameras. Each with unique arrays of sensors, boards, lenses, lasers, & lights. The OTIS cameras and lenses are custom made for the purpose of creating 3D data. The camera boards, sensors & lenses are all carefully built, assembled and tested for precision.

The computer systems used to process the data captured by the OTIS must be powerful. Capturing & processing thousands of image files and using them to create 3D models requires state-of-the-art computer systems. The Steuart Imaging Systems team builds their own custom computers that have immense CPU & GPU power. The process of creating a single 3D image and testing new code can still take days of processing time. Tests are planned carefully to fully utilize available processing time on the workstations. Every ounce of available processing speed is optimized and new technology is integrated into these systems as fast as practically possible.

There have been thousands and thousands of lines of code written and even more open source code integrated into the OTIS software. There are countless open-source connections going both ways. This is evident in the positioning on 3D processing benchmark competitions.

It’s safe to say that Skip and Steuart Imaging Systems are at the vanguard of academic research in the field of 3D imaging. The commercial applications for their work is nearly limitless. A few of the industries that could benefit from OTIS are:
– Architecture & Structural Engineering
– Entertainment: Film, Cinema & Animation
– Mapping & Geolocation
– Gaming
– Surveying & 3D Measurement
– Etc.
