For scanning small objects with a Mini2, I’ve made some 3d printed marker blocks and wondering if adding some 2mm and 1.5mm marker stickers onto the blocks would provide any value in terms of tracking and for varying the patterns.
I am not sure, but i don’t think so.
I tried 6mm and 3mm combined and as far as i experienced the diameter was not recognized. Only the position of the center. I couldn’t get any better tracking by varying the size.
Only advantage of smalker markers is the less space used, but therefore harder to capture.
Keep us updated how it works for you.
I gave these 1.5mm (inner) diameter stickers a shot, and it looks like the Mini2 scanner is picking them up. I did not realize that they are unfortunately non-reflective, so I foresee them potentially not being picked up in certain scenarios… perhaps? But 1.5mm seems to be registering! I think I will use these in conjunction with the reflective 3mm (inner) diameter guys… just to establish some randomness if the patterns become too regular in some instances. From what I understand so far (I’m very new to this) – you don’t want to have repeating patterns with these stickers, and it’s kinda hard to vary them when you are putting them on repeating forms and if you have a lot of these marker blocks (I printed a good handful of them) so my experiment is to introduce these small guys where I see a pattern that looks too similar to other ones. Maybe I am over-thinking all of this, who knows… but it’s fun to experiment and learn

Hi! Can you check it again with actual version of RevoScan? Since I get mini2 and bought reflective 1.5m and 2.0mm markers but non of them are registering. But 3.0mm (6mm outside) markers are registering even after I just printed them the on regular paper (((( So I’d appreciate if you can recall the version of RevoScan when you tried that small markers.
The software was a slightly different back then , I could use even 1 mm markers
However the recommended size is 3 mm and 6 mm ( inner diameter)
Just remember that using smaller markers don’t change the actual distance you placing them from each other , so having too small markers tight together can generate error while scanning like jumping or ghosting .
Keep the proper distance regardless of the size you are using.
The newest software requires the markers to be reflective as it helps them to be picked up at lower angles.
None reflective markers works only well at direct angle but hard to use at lower angles .
The changes were made to prevent surface details to be recognized as markers by mistake.
May be you have any old releases of RevoScan? Since I can’t find anything all over the internet.
I’ve already found several files responsible for markers recognizing, but it would be easier if I had their older versions.
I don’t have it since I always remove versions after better version is released that works well for me .
Beside the old versions was not made to use with Mini 2 or newer firmwares so should be not used anyway as it can affect the scanning results so not worthy .
Marker recognition code settings are not editable so can’t be edited .
Each scanner has own profile that loading the moment you connect your scanner and each of the profile has different settings according to the scanner , this also affect how the scanner calibrate so I would not mess with it as changing even if possible will affect how the calibration of the firmware perform while scanning .
Reflective markers are the best way anyway as they works proper at the angles .
