Introduction - 3rdTech DeltaSphere-3000 User Manual

1 Introduction

The DeltaSphere-3000 is a portable, long-range, high precision and high-speed 3D scene
digitizer. Employing an embedded time-of-flight laser rangefinder, the DeltaSphere-3000
measures millions of 3D points – their location and the intensity of the laser return – for areas
up to 40ft. distance from the scanner with the red laser; 50 ft. for the infrared laser. These clouds
of 3D points can be used for measuring the area or objects scanned, and for producing 3D,
computer graphics models. With the color option, the DeltaSphere-3000 can also provide a full
color value for each point as well as high-resolution texture maps.
