Operating principles

Geometry-based positioning
The scanner requires geometry in order to position itself. The projector emits a white light stripe pattern
on the object. The pattern distortion on the object is recorded by cameras. The acquisition is made over
the light pattern and the geometry information collected is used to build the surface with real-time
positioning.
Intelligent hybrid positioning
The scanner detects positioning targets on and around the object. Intelligent hybrid positioning
combines the positioning targets provided with the geometry information in order to provide more
accurate results. This feature always uses all the information available, the geometry and positioning
targets, to provide positioning. It does so while ensuring that sufficient data is available to guarantee
accuracy. The built-in intelligence also prevents the acquisition of inaccurately positioned frames.
Texture positioning
The scanner acquires and detects the object's texture with its digital color camera.
It is recommended to keep the laptop plugged into an external power source
rather than relying on the laptop's internal battery because of the intense power
requirements of the scanner and high processing workload.
