In this paper, we present two practical experimental setups for scanning and reconstructing real objects employing low-price, off-the-shelf embedded components and open-source libraries. As a test case, we scan and reconstruct a 23 m high statue using an octocopter without employing external hardwareI.3.8 [Computer Graphics]ApplicationsI.4.5 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]Reconstruction10.2312/stag.201512861-6
