Video Processing for Dual Laser 3D Scanner Prototype based on Cloud to Cloud Method

Abstract

Recently, three dimensional (3D) scanner is a continuous developing scanning technology. There are several approaches used in this technology. The first approach is by using a depth camera and the second approach is by using laser and a standard camera. Previous research had been done to develop a dual laser 3D scanner which able to scan an object with maximum size is 15×15×15 cm. By using cloud to cloud merging method, the result is quite satisfying, and it can scan a physical object and convert it to a 3D digital object with the level of size precision is more than 98%. In this research, we improve the prototype to achieve faster time processing. We change the main scanning method from using image per step into video recording. We make some adjustment to signal processing algorithm, and in result, we achieve better time processing. The time processing is reduced more than 50% of the previous research and the scale precision also getting better.
