Creating 3D computer models of entire reefs – sometimes known as digital twins – can help researchers monitor these precious ecosystems faster and more accurately than ever before.

3D printed models can be used in a variety of ways. We can use 3D scanning to create 3D models of an ecosystem, which can be used as a tool to improve conservation efforts. For example, 3D-printed ...

We also argue that several well-known ecosystem models are unsatisfactory in this regard. Then we present the open-source ecosystem simulator Ecotwin, which is built on top of the game engine Unity.

3D model video visualisation of a 50m×20m reef restoration area. In an earlier 2024 study, our team applied photogrammetry to measure coral growth rates at the level of individual colonies.By ...

3D models in Office allows users to easily insert 3D models into any PowerPoint, Word, or Excel file. Manipulate the model with built-in tools to rotate, flip, spin, pan, and zoom for ideal placement.

For a long time, it had been an outstanding research problem, but 3DBAG has turned the large-scale automatic reconstruction of detailed 3D building models into reality. Developed within the 3D ...

Our new study shows how creating 3D computer models of entire reefs—sometimes known as digital twins—can help us monitor these precious ecosystems faster, more accurately and in greater detail ...
