User manual KONICA VIVID 9I BROCHURE

[. . . ] The 9i is an ideal way to capture the shape and dimensional data of design models and prototypes in design drawings for reverse engineering purposes. When used for reverse engineering or CAE, the VIVID 9i easily and accurately converts the shape of a product into 3D digital data. [. . . ] Merging of data can be accomplished by just clicking on a single pair of points. before measurements. Measurement and data position alignment What's more, our new field calibration system maintains the high reliability of the factory settings by canceling the degraded accuracy caused by lens exchange or a change in environment. Merging of 3D data (polygons) Photogrammetry System PSC-1 optional VIVID 9i captures large parts (> 1 meter) easily. When PSC-1 is used with the 9i, the combination enables the user to capture both high-detail and large parts. In the past, the alignment of multiple scans was error prone, making it hard to achieve high-detail and high accuracy on large parts. 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.
