Background randomly showing up with identical settings in inspire II

I have a background that sometimes starts to show up (dark blue below). It is carbon fiber. ITs creating problems when it does not show up as i cant level the sample.

Doing an OEM automated application incorporating the inspire II, if it was just 1 off scans, this is not a problem.

I am doing dark scans with highest resolution setting.

These are taken with identical lighting.

Its flooded with markers in the images just for debugging purposes.

I am using the SDK right now but noticed the same thing happens inside revo metro software so its likley something in firmware or sometime of setting?

Hi @jmacione

The background is showing because it is scanned by the sensor because you are using settings for dark objects , decrease the exposure of the Depth camera but it can affect how you will be able to capture the dark object , I would recommend you are lifting the object with some acrylic and not s an it direct on the background , there is no other way to avoid it scanning . The scanner just do exactly what you set it to do and nothing wrong with it.

what I am asking is why it scans different each day. Nothing is changing in our setup. Is there a setting we can change. We cant change the background it is on as we are shooting xray through it.

The only settings are under Depth exposure , but changing that may affect how the object is captured. It is recommended to not use the same materials level , or elevate the object slightly and use the range setting to ignore the background while scanning .

Again it is not the scanner issue , that are physics that can’t be changed but there is a way around as I mentioned above .

The scanner was created to capture everything it sees in front of it at the same distance.
