Three-dimensional image is characterized by three dimensions of data, including width, height and depth. It can be expressed in three forms, i.e. depth map (expressing the distance between the object and the camera in grayscale), geometric model (created in a CAD software) and point cloud (3D scanners collect many points on the surfaces of objects).…
3D scanning is the process of analyzing a real-world object or scene to collect data on its shape and appearance (such as color, texture). The collected data can be used to construct digital 3D models. 3D scanner is an imaging device that collects 3D data. It is based on different imaging technologies including ToF, structured-light…
The structured-light 3D scanner is a type of 3D scanner that adopts a structured light technique to capture 3D data. It often takes two forms. One is a stationary 3D scanner, the other is a handheld 3D scanner. Handheld 3D scanners are more portable than stationary scanners. Normally a handheld 3D scanner consists of hardware…
As of March 19, 2020, there are more than 41,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Italy, with over 3,400 deaths, which makes Italy the deadliest epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. The surging number of patients leads to serious shortage of medical staff, equipment and hospital beds. A hospital in the Lombardy region, which is a…
Many customers showed great interest in our Areascan 3D cameras, and inquired about things like the parameters, usage and applications. One of the frequently asked questions is about the requirements for the computer running the 3D camera software. How to use Areascan? The 3D camera software, which is free of charge for customers who buy…
The fourth industrial revolution, or known as Industry 4.0, signifies an increase in the adoption of smart and autonomous systems in the industries. One of the contributors to automation is enabling robots to “see” things. For a few decades, robots’ capability of seeing is mainly realized by 2D machine vision systems, the integral part of…
Beyond the highly accurate 3D face scanner Facense, Revopoint takes a leap forward to offer another low-cost 3D face reconstruction technique. But this time, you don’t even need a 3D scanner to obtain 3D face models. This 3D face reconstruction technique can generate high-resolution 3D face models from one piece of color image…
Revopoint researchers have been developing an image completion algorithm to be used in 3D face printing and lately they obtained exciting results. The algorithm is used to complete the 3D face models scanned and output by Revopoint’s 3D face scanner Facense. The four-camera 3D face scanner takes photos of the face from four different angles to…
Nowadays, flexible production becomes more urgent for industrial automation. Since 2D imaging system restricts machine vision applications due to its two-dimensional nature, applications such as bin picking, Inline inspection and dimensional measurement are already moving to 3D imaging. Advanced 3D imaging techniques have been making industrial 3D sensors smaller and smarter to be widely used…
From April 20 to 24, 2020, Revopoint will be attending Hannover Messe 2020 in Hannover, Germany. Hannover Messe is the No.1 global industrial trade show held once a year, which can be dated back to 1947. Last year, more than 6,500 exhibitors and approximately 215,000 visitors demonstrated and experienced many future-oriented technologies. The grand trade…
