    1 Introduction to Handheld 3D Scanner 1.1 Product Overview Handheld 3D scanners typically include a light source (laser or white light, etc.), a structured light projector, two (or more) industrial cameras, a computing unit for 3D digital image processing,and a calibration plate for calibrating the above-described devices and attachments such as mark points.
  • Page 11: Working Principle

    Based on the above, the PRINCE series handheld 3D scanner has a red and blue two-color laser. It also has two modes: red light fast scanning and blue light fine scanning. The two modes can be quickly switched, scanning efficiency and local details can be obtained.

  • Page 29: Basic Operation Process

    4 Basic Operation Process This chapter focuses on the mode selection of the KSCAN series, the photogrammetry operation flow and the scanning operation flow. 4.1 Mode Selection The KSCAN series of composite 3D scanners are equipped with red and blue two-color laser and photogrammetry system modules, including global photogrammetry, red light fast scanning and blue light fine scanning.
  • Page 30: Photogrammetry Operation Process

    4.2 Photogrammetry Operation Process 4.2.1 Targets Targets in photogrammetry operation refers to put coded markers and uncoded markers on the object which would be measured. The requirements for pasting uncoded markers are as follows: The spacing between each two mark points is 30mm to 250mm, which is determined according to the actual situation of the workpiece.
  • Page 31 Figure4- 2 Error tipping Mark points should not be pasted to the edge of the workpiece. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data quality, the position of the mark points on the workpiece will be deleted when the last point cloud data is output, forming a hole. Therefore, when affixing, the mark points must be more than 2mm away from the edge, which is convenient for later data repair processing.
  • Page 32: Ruler Placement

    4.2.2 Ruler placement The ruler is a device that determines the overall accuracy of the photogrammetry, similar to the scale of the map. The KSCAN series of rulers are divided into two types: a short ruler on the left and right sides of the standard configuration quick-adjustment plate and an optional 1m ruler.
  • Page 33 Figure4- 4 1m ruler The placement of the ruler has an effect on the shooting result, so it is important to position the scale correctly. Pay attention to the following points when placing:  The position where the ruler is placed must be easy to shoot, and the placed ruler cannot be deformed.
  • Page 34: Shooting Process

    Figure4- 6 standard ruler When shooting large workpieces, the scale must be placed around the Attention workpiece. The reasons for the deformation of the scale are: the ends of the scale are squeezed, the weight is placed on the scale rod, and only the sides Attention of the scale are fixed so that the middle portion of the scale is suspended.
  • Page 35 Close the shooting interface and click Run,as shown in Figure 4-7. Figure4- 7 Shooting interface  In the 3D display interface, right click on the mouse and select “Export non-coded point” and save it, as shown in Figure 4-8. At this point, you can directly do some scanning with the targets from “File—Open ScanViewer Software”.
  • Page 36: Scanning Process

     Select the “File” menu and click “Open ScanViewer Software” to enter the ScanViewer scanning software. In addition to viewing the point file, you can also perform the next step of scanning the laser patch (dot). As shown in Figure 4-9. Figure4- 9 Export non coding points The above is the basic operation flow of the photogrammetry.
  • Page 37: Workpiece Pretreatment (Optional)

    4.3.1 Workpiece pretreatment (optional) The principle of the scanner is based on laser detection. Therefore, when the material or surface color of the scanned object is as follows, the scan result will be affected. Transparent material: for example, glass. If the workpiece to be scanned is made of glass, the laser will penetrate the glass, so that the camera cannot accurately capture the position where the glass is located, so it cannot be scanned.
  • Page 38: Quick Calibration

    To scan the workpiece of the above materials, it is necessary to spray a contrast enhancer on the surface of the workpiece before scanning, so that the workpiece can diffusely reflect the laser light irradiated on the surface. 4.3.2 Quick calibration After the scanner is connected, the device needs to be quickly calibrated using the quick calibration plate.
  • Page 39 Figure4- 11 Fast Calibration Place the calibration plate on a stable plane. The scanner is facing the calibration plate. The distance is about 400mm. Press the scanner to open the laser beam (take seven parallel lasers as an example), as shown in Figure 4-12. Figure4- 12 Fast Calibration Control the angle of the scanner, adjust the distance between the scanner and the calibration plate, so that the shadow circle on the left side coincides;...
  • Page 40 Figure4- 13 Fast Calibration Gradually raise the device, after calibrating the vertical direction, perform 45-degree calibration on the right side, tilt the scanner to the right by about 45 degrees, and keep the laser beam between the fourth and fifth line markers to make the shadow Coincident, as shown in Figure 4-14.
  • Page 41 in Figure 4- 15. Figure4- 15 Fast Calibration After the left side calibration, perform the upper 45 degree calibration, tilt the scanner upward by about 45 degrees, and the laser beam is kept between the fourth line and the fifth line mark point, so that the shadows coincide, as shown in Figure 4-16.
  • Page 42 beam is kept between the fourth line and the fifth line mark point, so that the shadows coincide, as shown in Fig. 4-17. Figure4- 17 Fast Calibration The calibration is completed, and the result is shown in Figure 4-18. Figure4- 18 Fast Calibration ①...
  • Page 43: Pre-Scan Points

    place it in the safety protection box. 4.3.3 Pre-scan points Once the calibration is complete, you can start scanning. When scanning, first collect and scan the mark points on the surface of the workpiece to establish the coordinates and positioning of the workpiece. This step is called pre-scan points (this step can be skipped and scan laser patch (dot) directly.
  • Page 44: Scanning The Laser Patch (Point)

    When pre-scan the mark points, you can use multiple angles to identify the mark points as much as possible, or you can directly click on the "smart mark point" to scan (the smart mark point scan does not require multiple angles). This is to provide enough calculation data for the point optimization, and the laser patch (dot) can be scanned after the point optimization is completed.
  • Page 45 Figure4- 20 Scan data After the scan is finished, you can save it as “project file, laser point file”, or click “dot”—“wrap” to optimize the operation. After the optimization is completed, you can mesh it . As shown in Figure 4-21. Figure4- 21 wrap...
