Hi @Sheeter software based maybe but that would be LDR, no camera is capable to capture full range at once, you still need minimal 3 images , the current hardware is not capable to shot or process the data at that speed in real time.
It would need to shot at least 18 color frames per second with 3 different exposures while capturing 6 FPS using Depth Camera sensors . Your tracking would suffer greatly , and your scanner processor is on fire . Lol
However it is still possible to do LDR while texture mapping using the single RGB capture , by adjusting the exposure and shadows virtually using algorithms for a great results.
I noticed you guys came out with a new update of Revo Scan today. I have some features I think that would be great to be added:
Would be nice to see coloration of the point cloud based upon how much data has been captured (near/ far). This kind of is already done by the points turning a more dense blue but it would be great to have some contrast.
I don’t know if this is already implemented but just not said in the program. It would be nice to have a hybrid tracking system where it’s tracking markers as well as features, or even using the RGB camera to detect features. All three working is when copacetic system.
A contrast control for the depth camera. Or even Auto contrast this may help with data acquisition when dealing with dark areas. I don’t know if this could be implemented or if it would help based upon the technology that is implemented into the devices (Range ,Pop)
A way to download an STL of your products so people can easily create 3D print bracket that can connect to the device, for let’s say LED lights to help out the RGB camera when it comes to capturing textures.
A product accessory that is Wi-Fi that uses LED as a flash that could be on a tripod. You can have multiple of these devices connected and sync up with the system to create frame grabs of the flashes to create better texture maps and dark situations.
I Love the revo 5 software,
One thing I would like to have is an option to set the origin of the scanned part. Maybe a function where you can set a planar by choosing three points and you can set x,y and z on this way. Depending on the cad software you are using afterwards. Not everybody can align the scanned model to the coordinate system.
Would it be possible to insert the function of manual selection (with preview) of the frames to be processed in the fusion phase in order to avoid double scans and therefore distortions in the reconstruction phase of some areas? sometimes it happens to make a complete tour of the object (especially human or large) and scan an area already scanned several times with the effect of having distortions of the final geometry (double noses, crooked faces, etc.)
Modify the color of the scanner temperature to reflect its level of heat, gradually transitioning to bright flashing red when it exceeds a certain temperature threshold.
The possibility to align several scans manually by rotating/dragging the scans individually in the right position , without the need for markers would be very helpful I think.
You can merge already 9 scans using automatic feature mode without placing marker points , however you need to clean them first . Batch processing for automatic cleaning and fusing will be available in the future build .
Nice to hear that batch processing will become available.
I know automatic aligning is possible, but that does not always work out nicely. Manual (pre- or after)adjustment works better I think, especially with low detail surfaces. I do not like to use markers.
Manual alignment will be probably added in later time as well , as that was also very usable especially for features objects as you said.
for one make sure you clean well your point cloud and cut out parts where it do not belongs to the objects leaving small amount for overlapping , how cleaner the point cloud ( no overlaps, no over scanned, no isolated points ) how better the feature alignment works.
Revo Scan version: 5.0.3 Android
System: Lenovo Chromebook
Scanner: Range
Feedback: It would be nice if the app supported Chromebooks. The Play store won’t even let me attempt to install it. It works well on my phone and tablet, but my Chromebook has a bit more power and storage space under the hood.
Revo Scan Version: 5.0.6
System: Windows 10
Scanners: Range, POP 2
I echo the request for supporting 3Dconnexion.
I just updated to v5.0.6 – I’m really happy to see frequent updates with the new software. That said, it would be really helpful to see a change log so we know what has been updated with each new release. That allows users to test things out and let you know when we run into new issues.
Thanks for the link. However, it would also be good to have a link to the Change Log on the actual download page. For this latest release, I did not see the announcement here in the Forum, but I saw it quickly on the download page. To be honest, I probably would not have seen it in the Forum, if you had not sent me the link. I’m only suggesting this to make it easier for more people to be aware of the specific updates. Thanks.
Please, a Linux release would be awesome. At least for Debian based distros. Also, I really liked the countdown timer in the past Revo Scan, it was very usefull for manual scanning.
