Scanning Mode

Choose a suitable scan mode based on Scanning Objects before starting to scanning. If you don’t make a choice, the Colorful Object Scanning Mode is the default.

Click the icon of “+” in the Setting interface or the tool of mode selection to create Custom Mode.

Let’s have a brief understanding of the 3 defaulted scan modes.

The Default Mode

Mode	Icon	Performance
Colorful Object Scanning Mode		Colorful obj. file The flashing light is turned on There will be no extension edge in closing small holes Accurate algorithm
Human Body Scanning Mode		Colorful obj. file The flashing light is turned on Default: Close small holes with extension edge Default on Hair Enhancement Non-rigid Fitting Algorithm
LED Off Mode		Object with no color The flashing light is turned off Accurate algorithm

The three default modes have something in common: Feature Splicing mode, scanning distance of 200mm-1000mm, resolution of 0.7mm

Custom Mode

In actual work, the custom mode may be the most used mode. How to add a custom mode?

Figure 2

Figure 1

1. Open the setting menu and click the plus sign, or click the plus sign directly (right figure);

2. Set the Working parameters needed

3. Name the mode (see figure 2)

4. Choose one icon

5. Click Save

The commonly added custom modes are:

The mode of Marker Splicing

The mode of Texture Splicing

The mode of Mixed Splicing

The mode of LED off and with textures

Working parameters

Name	Icon	Indication
Light Source		Infrared Light Source
Color		Whether the scanned model has color, that is, whether the color camera works. If the single color is selected, the model has no color.
Flashing Light		If the fill light is turned on, the pictures taken by the color camera are bright, but the fill light is too dazzling. If the fill light is turned off, the color will be dark, which is suitable for situations where the requirements for texture quality are not high.
Alignment Methods		See the next chapter for the working principle of scanner connection.
Scene		Different algorithms are used in different scenes. Non-rigid fitting algorithm: the scanned person is hard to keep still for a long time during scanning, such as breathing and blinking, but the algorithm will judge and correct the wrong postures based on the slight movement of the body to avoid scan errors. Accurate algorithm: object splicing is a normal algorithm, which just simply finds matching features for splicing.
Size		Select the right parameters based on the objects’ size Standard: Suitable for 50cm-200cm objects Oversize: Suitable for more than 200cm objects Small: Suitable for 20cm-50cm objects
Resolution		The default resolution is different for various object sizes

Hint

After scanning, the resolution can be modified. The modified model will have an impact on the effect. Click the Data Quality Color Map to see the specific impact.
