3D Scan Forum

Is out. tried it tonight. I did get seemingly very usable calibration with Optimize on. It may be fixed? Ill have to try more tests but here is a sample of what I did tonight. The cabinet knob is about 50mm 22mm.

Cool! I will try it next weekend. And very nice scan!

Extended mode or stereo mode ?

If extended mode, do you still need to adjust a1 to a2 , b1 to b2, etc...

Thanks,
Jeff

This version has the longest changelog for quite some time:

New features:
+ Support for Sprout by HP
+ Support for HP 3D Capture Stage
+ 3MF export
+ Close Holes slider to allow closing only small holes in Fusion

Misc:

* Improved AutoNextScan sensitivity for scanning
* Allow direct color texturing with color cameras
* Enable high performance rendering mode for NVidia Optimus by default
* Improved projector selection for HP 3D Structured Light Scanner Pro Sx products
* Reset naming scheme for new scans when user creates a new project
* Japanese localization
* Avoid alignment error pop-up messages during turntable or sequence scanning
* Improved alignment of scans in automatic turntable mode
* Improved automatic alignment of scan sequences
* Improved texture fusion to avoid dark patches from shadows
* Support for camera hardware triggering
* Improved support for UTF-16 encoded filenames
* Open web help in default browser

Bugfix:
* Cancel operation when clicking on X of notification window
* Do not allow less than two scans in automatic turntable mode
* Enable scan button after camera status changed
* Fixed calibration in Custom scan mode
* Fixed session settings that have been falsely saved as user settings
* Fixed crash when starting in Estonian or Greek language
* Fixed possible crash during texture fusion when last scan in the list was invisible
* Fixed texture rescaling for correct display on some GPU model
* Fixed calibration data mixup after a stereo camera is temporarily disabled
* Fixed GUI elements for background scanning
* Fixed possible crash during alignment with "Use Surface Features" enabled
* Fixed a possible crash after user cancel in alignment
* Fixed a possible crash when importing scan files
* Verify format of user values entered in Calibr. Scale, Tolerance, and some Advanced Settings
* Minor bug fixes

This was done in stereo mode with the Optimize dual camera function on. FWIW this is the first time I have gotten even usable results with Optimize on.

Today, I played a lot with dualcam calibration in the new version. I'm using a setup, where one camera is left of the beamer and one is above. I think, they improved multicam optimization. But I still get better results, when I disable two settings in advanced options and instead dial in the shortcomings of my calibration panels by hand: That seems to be the only way to get better than 0,1 degree: With the two options enabled, the result is between 89,5 and 90,5 degree. That is similar to what I got from 5.1.0.

What seems to be much improved is robustness. No single crash in 5 hours

Has anyone used min/max depth? I always wondered, what is the origin to which those numbers are referenced. I tried that too and in dualcam it is the first camera, somewhere inside the lens.
