Hi, I am working on a research project related to 3D-Reconstruction and I would like to use the data from the POP scanner. Is there any way to access the point clouds from the device programatically (preferably using C++). I haven’t looked around very much; so sorry if I missed something obvious 🙂 ---

Josuer, Did you got any response from revopoint? I have same needs with you. ---

There is an SDK. The folder containing the files was apparently moved, but I downloaded the 7 ZIP archives. If you have a cloud upload link, I can send them to you. ---

Was this ever resolved? POP 3d scanner SDK would be incredibly useful to me. ---

sorry, for my super late reply No, I didn’t get any answer. An FAQ from August 21 states that they don’t have an open API ([[FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions about POP](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-pop/3296)) Did someone succesfully use the files from JeffLindstrom? ---

Is there any possibility to get to the API? ---

I haven’t investigated it, but there have been multiple firmware revisions, along with two new product releases, since I saw the SDK over a year ago, so I am doubtful that that version would work. ---

☹ But maybe we could try? In what language is the SDK written? C++? Otherwise, is the concept for me useless, as I do need to work with the mesh data further myself. And not in some proprietary application 🙂 ---

Hi, Josuer, Thanks for your support. The SDK is on the schedule, please stay tuned. We will release the alpha candidate when the product is ready. Vivian ---

Please let me know when the alpha comes! Looking really forward to it. I have already the box home, but can’t prepare the presentation for customer without it 🙂 Use case is right now fairly simple: - trigger the camera start/stop scanning from the code - get the mesh of the points after the scan stops ---

I would want to access pointcloud data before it is fused, so one dataset per frame. To scan bigger objects, I plan to use a rigid (ceramics) baseplate with very precise markers on it. The (precisely known) placement of the markers would be used to avoid accrued error. So I would love to have an open API or at least an option to export prefuse data. ---

Revopoint Now that the Revo Scan software can control the “Dual Axis Turntable”, It would be great to include the ability in the SDK or API for requesting; tilt and rotation. ---

Add me in for interest in an SDK. I really like the POP and the MINI, but I have ideas for them that the software just isn’t cut out for. ---

+1 for an SDK (for the mini, in C#). Would love to capture point clouds frame-by-frame! ---
