[. . . ] (Input range in X, Y and Z directions: 93 x 69 x 26 mm to 1495 x 1121 x 1750 mm) Point & Shoot, Leave detailed settings to the 9i. Konica Minolta's AF/AE technology, developed through its expertise in camera manufacturing, relieves users from the need to determine the exact measuring distance. Moreover, the system automatically determines the optimum laser power for the surface conditions of the target. [. . . ] PSC-1 automates the registration process, and removes the tolerance stack-up inherent in best-fit techniques. When measuring a large part maximum detail is achieved by dividing the part into several scanned regions. With PSC-1 the individual scans are aligned (registered) automatically, with higher alignment accuracy than has been possible before. The procedure is described below: 1 Capture the image with a digital camera Measurement Flow of Photogrammetry System PSC-1 The user will place scale bars around the object to be scanned (the "subject") and attach reference markers to the subject. With the dedicated digital SLR, the operator takes pictures of the subject, being sure to include both the coded markers and dimension-controlled scale bars . Based on these pictures, the coordinates of the reference markers are determined with high accuracy using photogrammetric technology, creating a sparse point cloud of the subject (i. e. , a 3D "Constellation" in the shape of the subject). Door PSC-1 Photographing scenario VIVID 9i Measuring area Scale bar Reference marker Coded marker Positions of digital camera photos 3D data of reference markers 2 Automatic alignment and merging of 3D data Now it's time to scan the surface detail using the 9i. As each VIVID 9i scan is captured, it is automatically aligned to the PSC-1 data cloud created in step 1. The VIVID 9i reads the target data and places the scans in their correct orientation. Even relatively smooth shapes such as fenders or door skins are accurately aligned because the alignment does not depend on complex surface geometry. Result: a more accurate model. In addition to being more accurate, PSC-1 saves time. Firstly, any voids are apparent immediately; aligned data enables the user to scan any missing surface data. Secondly, since the scans are aligned to the photogrammetric point cloud (rather than to each other), there is no need to overlap scans. Furthermore, if two areas of interest are separated by an unimportant area, the operator no longer needs to scan the intervening area, saving more time.
