Our work process
Absolutely, capturing a comprehensive and accurate 3D model often requires multiple scans from various angles to cover all sides and details of the object or scene. This process is crucial for creating a complete and detailed representation. Let's further elaborate on the steps involved in the 3D model capture flow:
-
Multiple Scans from Different Angles:
-
Perform multiple scans of the object or scene from various viewpoints. These scans are often taken from different positions and orientations to capture all surfaces and details.
-
-
Data Acquisition and Point Cloud Generation:
-
Each scan produces a point cloud representing the object's geometry and features. The points in the cloud are usually generated using the scanning system's laser or depth-sensing technology.
-
-
Alignment or Registration:
-
Combine and align the individual point clouds into a single, unified point cloud.
-
Use alignment or registration algorithms to match common features in overlapping areas of the scans and align them into a consistent reference frame.
-
-
Coordinate Transformation:
-
Transform the local coordinates of each point cloud into a common, global coordinate system.
-
This process involves accurately aligning and registering the scans so that they fit seamlessly and accurately together, creating a coherent 3D model.
-
-
Integration and Meshing:
-
Integrate the aligned point clouds to create a more structured representation, often in the form of a 3D mesh or surface.
-
Meshing involves connecting the points to form triangles or polygons, creating a surface mesh that represents the object's structure.
-
-
Texture Mapping (Optional):
-
Project the images captured during the scanning process onto the 3D mesh to apply textures and color, enhancing the visual realism of the model.
-
-
Cleaning and Refinement:
-
Clean the model by removing noise, outliers, or unwanted artifacts that may have been introduced during the scanning or alignment process.
-
Refine the model to improve its accuracy, detail, and overall quality.
-
-
Final 3D Model:
-
The resulting 3D model is a complete, unified representation of the object or scene, capturing its geometry, texture, and details from all angles.
-
This comprehensive 3D model capture flow ensures that the final model accurately represents the object or scene, enabling various applications such as virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D printing, simulation, analysis, and more.
Whether you're upgrading a facility, changing its intended use, or just maintaining current status awareness, you'll maintain the interior and exterior security of your industrial building with more accurate As-Built virtual models that can be maintained for the life of the facility. of the installation.
