2D and 3D images from the Big-Bee project will be available for novel exploration in bee traits, 3D modeling, and computer vision research. In this figure, two representations of a 3D model are shown with a dark grey background. This model is generated from 64 focal stacked 2D images taken at different angles. A subset of those 2D images is pictured here with a light blue background. Both 3D models and the 2D images used to create the models will be shared by the project.
