Fighting ragged edges

Colleagues. How do you deal with such noise at the edges? I haven’t found anything better than cutting by hand yet, but it’s too difficult and not the most effective way.


Same here. It’s quite time-consuming.
I feel like this may be filtered automatically by the software in the future: in these areas, there are usually points close together with normals that go in widely different directions due to the noise. And during capture, the scanner basically “sees” multiple points at the same x/y coordinates (from the point of view of the scanner) but at different depths. So I guess using these two characteristics this could be detected.

The only option to avoid it is to capture the edges completely on all 3 angles.

If not you need to trim it manually .

Sadly the algorithms doing it while scanning. There were better days when that issue don’t existed , but it died with archived old version of RS 4.2 ( not really even fully usable with new scanners )

Hopefully one day it will be fixed and improved. Because it is nothing that can’t be fixed.

That’s exactly the same problem competitor and Polyga have. Rangevision was able to solve this problem, there is an option for “trimming edges”, but there is a different principle, there the work goes immediately with polygons and not with a cloud of points.

The problem with that is , that if you want to merge that scans , you don’t want artificial edge trimming like that.

You can still convert meshes to point cloud without issue for use for merge , but the alternation may not always fit it while merging correctly .

Things like that are truly only algorithms issues while scanning. It is happening inside the scanner and not the software.

It is precisely when combining that cropping is needed. Sometimes, already at the stage of unification, it becomes most clearly visible where a ragged, noisy or wrapped edge has formed. We have to go back, clean it up and merge it again. But there’s nothing you can do, I’m sure the product will evolve over time!

Can’t ai gpt bot thing be used in software that analyse scans?

It is controlled by algorithms inside the scanner firmware while capturing in real time and not the software.
Changing the edge algorithms will improve it , but affect the quality of the surface so bitter sweet situation .

The edges will be still jagged because not enough data is captured by the edges so have to be cut manually anyway.

Could the Miraco use ai algorithm in it’s firmware? For analysis of point cloud in real-time? Giving the best results via 1 click cleanup.

Everything possible , I would be for it .. now we need to convince the Developers team to think about.

Could you recommend my request to them please? You have direct contact with them. And better stance too. Thanks

No problem , but I suggest to post all suggestions in the Suggestion section in the forum as well as they are periodically checked and added to the list as well.
