Briefings

Researchers at the University of Tartu demonstrated that standard cameras can generate detailed 3D models of plants, offering a cost-effective solution for documenting living collections. The study, led by Toivo Aukusti Ylinampa and Urmas Kõljalg, was published in the Biodiversity Data Journal.

Key points

• Researchers at the University of Tartu successfully created detailed 3D models of plants using ordinary cameras.
• The study was published in the Biodiversity Data Journal by Toivo Aukusti Ylinampa and Urmas Kõljalg.

Context

This research provides a practical method for botanical institutions to document living collections affordably, addressing the need for digital preservation of plant specimens.

Limitations

The study covers only the University of Tartu's findings and does not include data from other institutions or regions. Results are based on a single published article and may vary across different plant species and camera technologies.
