How It Works
Data Acquisition
Use a 3D scanner to capture data points from the object's surface. The scanner emits light or lasers and measures the reflections to create a point cloud, a collection of 3D coordinates.
Point Cloud Generation
The collected data is processed to create a point cloud, which is a dense set of points representing the object's surface geometry. This point cloud serves as the foundation for the 3D model.
Data Processing
Algorithms are applied to process and clean the point cloud data. This step involves removing noise, filling gaps, and refining the data to enhance accuracy.
Mesh Generation
The point cloud is then converted into a 3D mesh, where the points are connected to form a surface. This mesh defines the geometry of the scanned object.
Texture Mapping
If color information is desired, texture mapping can be applied to the 3D model. This involves projecting the colors from the scanned object onto the corresponding points in the mesh.
Post-Processing
The final 3D model may undergo additional post-processing steps, such as smoothing the surface, optimizing the geometry, or preparing it for specific applications.
