NERF 3D capture and SD training platform

NERF technology will be used for 3D capture

The platform will allow users to capture people, objects, monuments and complete environments with their background using a simple phone with a camera.

For example a temple north of Kyoto

Or a street of Kyoto by the canal

A robot expo at ATC building in Osaka

A young man wearing Hakama

Chaucer’s statue in Canterbury city center in Kent, UK

Canterbury cathedral precinct entrance door

The Canterbury Cathedral door scan presented here is currently used by Kent University students for studies while the real door as been removed for restoration. This shows the value of this platform to preserve and educate.

Users will be able to review them any time or share them with other poeple. Precious moments can be relived and inspiring location can be revisited anytime.

Stable Diffusion and other generative AI

The data collected by the platform to create 3D models will also be used to train generative AI to create models for Text to Image, Image to Image, Text to Video, Text to 3D etc…

Dataset per country will be used to generate contents related to each cultural identity.

Each country will be represented and a merged dataset will allow to create an inclusive Generative AI!

An example of Image to Image from European women picture to Asian women:

Another Image to Image using dataset to change Kimono fabric:

Sketch to image using specific dataset will produce result representative of the country:

We will provide to the international community a tool to share, preserve and enjoy the beauty from all over the world.

Visiting Toei Kyoto Studio Parc Eiga Mura

I came here last time in 2014 to see my favorite robot: Goldorak, also called Grendizer in Japan.

Sadly he is now gone but instead a new robot took the front stage, the one from Evangelion

I also met a charming lady (thank you Shiho-chan!!) who accepted to pose for me and stayed very still while I was turning around her !

I visited the Toei Cinema museum

I also met a Ninja !!

I walked in the village that was built and used for many Japanese movies.

And finally I visited the famous characters museum, Gamen Raider and some girl anime characters I don’t know.

That was a great visit even if Goldorak was gone, I will certainly come again to make more 3D scan!!
