To merge successfully 2 scans they need to have at least the same quality , I see one of them you merge are very low quality and very noisy and bumpy , you can’t get the same quality if one looks great and the other not , no matter what you use to fix the edges , only scans with precise the same accuracy will give you best results . Think about it .
The edges are bad on every scan that is another story as there is not enough data an accuracy captured and tat should not be the case .
That’s exactly what I’m trying to achieve with this thread. We’re deviating a bit from the topic. Essentially, I want RevoPoint to fix the issue in RevoScan where the edges fold away by trimming them during processing. This should be algorithmically feasible and included in the software. You know that this already worked in previous versions.
I was just about to write a suggestion about this when i found this post. it is really annoying, since the surface quality from the MINI is awesome, but the merging feature is almost unusable in the current state. When you have multiple models to scan, cleaning up each seam manually is a nightmare.
I will be looking into scripting with some external tools to load all point clouds in a project and trim the edges automatically.
Is the MESH used for merging? i thought it only works with the POINT CLOUD?
I can edit the ply point cloud in meshlab and replace the project file and it loads correctly in revo scan and merges. it’s a bit finnicky atm because to select the “edge” of the model in a point cloud you have to first polygonize it and delete the edges in the mesh, afterwards use the mesh vertices to create a new point cloud and export.
To do it manually is cumbersome, but well suited for pymeshlab.
If i have something working i can post it here, not much time at the moment.
Meshed can’t be merged in this case , it is the point cloud , but if you going to edit it out , better use Cloud Compare for merging , it has professional registration .
In Revo Scan 5 at this moment you need to clean out the point cloud after merging from all lose points and double points before meshing too . It do not clean the extras for some reason but I guess the future updates will fix that soon .
Unfortunately I no longer have the model as some time has passed. But maybe @PUTV can say more about it or has something ready. The error is definitely reproducible.
