Optimizing Scanning Marker Dot Pre-Scanning Process

Discussions

I’ve been watching Revopoint videos on using the Metro-X scanner and noticed an interesting process involving marker dots. In one of the videos, they applied a lot of marker dots and performed an initial scan that seemed to capture only the marker dots’ positions in space. After this, they started the “real” scan to capture the actual object they wanted to scan.

This two-step process appeared to improve tracking significantly during the scan. Could you provide the exact steps to replicate this process? Specifically:

  1. How do you perform the initial scan to record the marker dot locations?
  2. How do you transition to the actual scan of the object, ensuring improved tracking?

I want to ensure I understand this method for optimal results with the Metro-X scanner.

Hi.
What you describe is called global marker scanning. There are enough demo videos of how it works on Youtube. Just search for it (e.g. on Revopoint channel). Here is one using Range 2 but the principle is the same
