3d the laser scanner are devices capable of delivering an electromagnetic pulse and to receive the reflected signal, by measuring the period elapsed and therefore the distance between the instrument and the point that. The laser beam is beam through a mechanism of mirrors and rotating oscillating that with a change of the angle and Azimuth survey, illuminates the ground in points contiguous. This system works by measuring also thousands of points to the second forming "clouds of points". For each measurement (x, y, z), the system provides the intensity of the signal of return describing the surface of the object with. These are some application fields: Archeology, works of art and cultural goods, working in wood, medical/orthopedic, enterteinment, reverse engineering & rapid prototyping.
The Artec 3D Scanner works just like a regular video camera, but instead of a two-dimensional image, the result is a three-dimensional one with speeds of up to 15 surfaces per second! Thus, the scanning process becomes extremely straightforward: simply walk around the object and scan it from various angles, while the accompanying software combines all the scanned images into one.
To scan an object, there is no need to place countless markers all over it. The system uses unique geometry of each object to properly correlate the scanned images and to join them into one 3D image in real time (during the actual scanning process)!
Because the Artec 3D Scanner is almost a 3D camera in fact, it can be used to not only scan stationary objects, but dynamic ones as well. This can be especially useful in MEDICALAPPLICATIONS and MOVIE PRODUCTION where it’s vital to capture an actor’s facial expressions in 3D. Along with the scanner, the client receives specialized software which guides him through the entire scanning process and all the way through the refinement of the final image.
