Metallyticus splendidus

3D scanned *Metallyticus splendidus* (Westwood 1835) captured using scAnt, our affordable and open-source platform for the creation of digital 3D models of arthropods and small objects. ScAnt consists of a scanner and a Graphical User Interface which enable the automated generation of multi-view Extended-Depth-Of-Field (EDOF) images. These images are simultaneously processed and masked with a novel approach combining random forest-based edge-detection, adaptive thresholding, and connected component labelling. This beautiful specimen was given to us by Simon Chen Body length: 29.98 mm (excluding antennae and legs) * SfM mesh generated with **3DF Zephyr Lite** * Wing reprojected from EDOF images (All post processing done in blender 2.8) All code, CAD drawings, and assembly instructions here: https://skfb.ly/6XGpP Find us at http://evo-biomech.ic.ac.uk/ and [EvoBiomech](https://twitter.com/EvoBiomech)
