Color Camera Option

3DD OPTIX 400 series scanners allow the option of connecting an external or internal digital camera to provide extremely high quality color texture information. The texture is overlaid over the point cloud data to allow realistic looking 3D images to be generated. View sample animation.

Support has been added for the canon S30, S40, S45, S50, S60, and S70 digital camera. This camera may be used to add color texture to the scanner point cloud data. At the completion of each scan the software will take a picture using the digital camera and overlay the color texture on the point cloud data for display in the main window. The color texture information is saved along with the rest of the data in the "pmjx" file and may be read by most 3D graphics packages.

Camera can be installed inside or outside the scanner Camera is calibrated and integrated to the scanner Resolution could be changed upon camera Activated with a use of a button

With the digital camera add-on, the market has been expanded to accomodate many new opportunities. New applications exist in the multimedia, animation, medical and 3D archiving fields.
