    2.2 How to Place an Object (Using the Agrippa Bust as an Example) 1) Incorrect Examples Cluttered Background Don't hold the turntable by hand, as the object will be unstable. Incorrect Color Scans Incorrect Color Scans - Dim lighting conditions are bad for colors - Uneven illumination will affect texture mapping.

  • Page 12 2) How does the Feature Tracking Work? Feature tracking identifies and tracks an object's distinctive surface features. It works by extracting feature points from the data, matching them across different viewpoints, calculating their relationships, and using this information to reconstruct a 3D model of the object. The First Frame The Second Frame The Third Frame...
  • Page 13 Marker points work as reference points for the 3D scanner to track, so it knows where the frames should be stitched. 4) How to place marker points?

    1. Connecting to a 3D Scanner 4. Depth and RGB Cameras' Exposure Settings 4.1 Depth Camera A scanner's Depth Cameras are infrared cameras that capture the 3D point cloud data. Take care adjusting the Depth Cameras' exposure as this directly determines the quality of the 3D model obtained.

    5.1 Scan Preview Click the "New Scan" button to preview the scan and adjust the scan's settings. Display Error: If there are no point clouds or very few point clouds in the preview window, please check whether it is a scanner failure, the depth camera is underexposed, or the scanner is not aimed at the object.

    Scanning Errors: Shown in Red Shown in Yellow Red indicates tracking lost. When a “Tracking Yellow indicates the captured data is aligning. If Lost" warning is displayed, re-target the scanner the yellow is shown for only a short time, to a previously scanned area (blue) and keep it continue to capture data.

    6. Scanning Tips 6.1 Aim at the Object Please make sure to keep the scanner facing the object you are scanning and maintain a suitable distance during the entire scanning process. 6.2 Slow and Stable Movement •Slowly and steadily move the scanner around the object, maintaining a consistent distance. •Ensure that you scan all the outer surfaces of the object by moving the scanner over them.
  • Page 21: Scan Distance

    6.3 Scan Distance The scanning distance indicator bar in Revo Scan 5 lets you know if the scanner is at the correct distance from the object being scanned. •Green: Excellent distance. •Yellow: Indicates the scanner should be moved slightly closer or away from the object. •Red: Indicates that the scanner is too far or too close to the object.
  • Page 22: Tracking Lost

    Step 3: Check the Depth Camera's exposure. Correct Exposure Underexposed Overexposed Check the depth cameras' preview window. If there are large areas in blue or red, adjust the exposure settings. Step 4: Ensure that the scanner is positioned directly in front of the object. Also, ensure that the scan distance is within the appropriate range, indicated by the distance bar showing green.

    Tracking Lost Re-target the scanner to a previously-scanned When the red portion of the display changes to area (blue) with plenty of distinct features and green, resume scanning. keep it still for several seconds to re-acquire tracking. 7.3 Noise and Holes on the Model Occasionally, a captured model may contain noise and holes.
  • Page 24: Frequent Tracking Failures

    7.5 Frequent Tracking Failures Step 1: Verify whether the object has many geometric features. Take note of any curved, flat, or symmetrical surfaces, as these can potentially impact the scanning process. Symmetrical Curved Flat Step 2: Use Markers. If an object doesn't have many distinct geometric features, please use marker points to help with scanning.
  • Page 25: Model Editing

    8. Model Editing After completing the scan, the model can be post-processed into a unified point cloud (fusion), a 3D model (meshing), and, finally, textured. Raw Data The unprocessed and unfiltered data points captured during the scanning process. The model after performing point cloud fusion. In this form, the individual data points Point Cloud are connected to form a coherent cloud-like structure.
