I have a project which requires me to get 5 very specific images of an object from various angles. The user can't use their hands because it would be too shakey and introduce error. These images have to be precise and steady. So that's why I need to build a helper camera mounting device to help. I need help in designing this. The background of the images also needs to be removed.
The 5 angles I need is 4 from it's sides 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees. Where the camera is x distance away from the center of the object. The fifth angle is a top down view of the object, but the camera also needs to be x distance away from the center of the object.
How could I construct such a device that can attach any phone to it and use it's camera?
Requirements:
1. The device can attach any size phone to it.
2. Camera position has to be adjustable so that the camera is pointing at the center (horizontally and vertically) of the object.
3. Can only be mechanical, and no wires, circuits, or electronics, or motors.
4. Materials used can be bought from big hardware stores such rona, home depot, home hardware.
5. Need to minimize cost of materials and general effort to assemble it.
6. Need to be able to see the phone screen to see what the camera is showing.
7. A green screen that becomes the background of all 5 shots, so that a program can automate removing the background.What I had in mind, would be a a plank of wood, with a circular piece on the center which the object rests on. The initial rotation a marker lines up with the 0 degree marker. There is also markers marked for 90, 180 and 270 degrees. So the user can just rotate the circular thing and align the markers to exactly rotate the object with each of the 4 degrees, so the camera can get the 4 side shots. Then there would be two thin L shape sticks attached to the main wood plank. The phone would rest in the center of the 2 L sticks held by rubber bands. It can be attached on the bottom for the 4 side shots, and also on the top to get the top down view. For the bottom position, it needs something to stand on, so perhaps another rubber band twisted in a 8 shape. Then I could tape green papers all around it. With a green wall behind it.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks
