Testing out miraco plus, and first impression is, identical as miraco pro… didn’t use the metrology kit yet… and 16 fps is highest I got… Does the 20fps work with PC only and can I connect to ipad/iphone? What is the limitation to why it cannot achieve more FPS - is it the cpu? And if the fps is higher will this result in less loss in tracking? What is the purpose of the HDMI cable to USB connection - there is no output to hdmi happening on my end? Is the mini 2 better in tracking and accuracy? Does it capture texture: does someone know a good workflow to combine classical photogrammetry wia dslr and these scanners - for better texture quality. Basically what I guess I need is a way to rotate and scale the photogrametried object same to the miraco’s - is there a tool for that … thanks, ---

> [@robobear](#): > > can I connect to ipad/iphone? You can’t connect Android tablet to a iPhone , why ? There is not even a benefit of doing so. You can connect to MAC or PC to have a u benefit . > [@robobear](#): > > And if the fps is higher will this result in less loss in tracking? Your last bus is need to have proper smooth of tracking points ( features) to be able to keep tracking , more speed of frames will not fix that , you are using. 3D Structured light scanner that relays on features to keep tracking. > [@robobear](#): > > What is the purpose of the HDMI cable to USB connection - there is no output to hdmi happening on my end? It is USB C to HDMI to connect your Miraco to portable touch screen , TV , projector > [@robobear](#): > > Is the mini 2 better in tracking and accuracy? Does it capture texture: MINI 2 accuracy is better but it needs more tracking points on your objects since it is created to scan very small objects only , how higher the accuracy how small the tracking point distance is required . MINI series can scan textures but it is less good to archive because MINI series need very low environment lighting since it uses blue light for scanning , any colors other than blue can absorb the blue light making it difficult to scan in full color . Blue light scanners like MINI series works best when used with 3D spray . > [@robobear](#): > > Testing out miraco plus, and first impression is, identical as miraco pro It is not the same as MIRACO /pro , it also have zoom options in near mode to scan objects with higher accuracy and PMK . The highest frame speed is in High speed mode . 4 frames more or less makes zero difference. Speed can wary regarding the area of being scanned and the intensity of the point cloud . ---

OK thanks a lot for the answers… appreciate it… still haven’t gotten to all the features of miraco, so just randomly testing what’s obvious to me I’m used to photogrammetry, and I can get very good / predictable results - but of course it takes a lot of time to make an actual thing … I’ve even built my light box out of three 60x60 led panels meant for ceiling - at 40 watts each - so I get uniform lighting - and built arduino / stepper motor turntable with a relay to trigger the camera to take consistent photos… Anyway, the textures on miraco look like web cam quality photos to me - 4k 8k… does not look like it is 4k - I guess it can be improved if I have a good constant lighting - but I guess I can’t expect much from phone camera type lenses / camera sensors… vs a 5k$ dslr So what do you think the metroX might be less work / faster performing - what’s the blue light limitation? So far I would like to use it to scan object to use in scenes such as rocks and nature… and I can get good scans of rocks, textures are broken - as soon as I turn it around the lighting condition changes … I wanted to maybe use the photogrammetry to improve textures… ---

It is a RAW shot so not edited or process with filters as you have on a phone with the same sensor that actually cost $40 . The sensor needs a very good lighting conditions . MIRACO is not a DSLR and never intended to be other way it would cost 16K . Single shot mode at 8K are very good and pleasant results . But you can’t compare it to DSLR , it is Android Tablet after all . With your light settings you may get very good results , remember the center for camera is on the left , not in the middle of Miraco when setting light source . > [@robobear](#): > > So what do you think the metroX might be less work / faster performing - what’s the blue light limitation? I can’t talk about Metro X , you will need to wait until the KS page is ready with all specifications . But It is not propably what you need , it is strictly for reverse engineering stuff and reconstruction and not just for scanning random stuff , so you probably will have nothing from it since it is far away from what you doing I assume . > [@robobear](#): > > So far I would like to use it to scan object to use in scenes such as rocks and nature… and I can get good scans of rocks, textures are broken - as soon as I turn it around the lighting condition changes … I wanted to maybe use the photogrammetry to improve textures… Well light changes with photogrammetry too if you moving around . I would suggest you build your own mobile lighting on a bracket so it follows the scanner and deliver the proper lighting levels . Make sure you use calibration board for calibrate white balance and exposure but since you doing photogrammetry you must know that already .
