Abstract
Optical reconstruction techniques to digitize objects require expensive and complex equipment. This project proposes the design and assembly of a 3D laser scanning system with available scan control software, concerning about low-cost alternatives, the only hardware requirements are a light source and a digital camera. The goal of this work is the evaluation design of a cost-effective system for 3D data acquisition, so the reconstructed geometry is exportable to CAD programs. The work evaluates the performance of different commercial scanners available, and the imaging standards are reviewed to have a framework for the performance evaluation process of each scanning device. The proposed cost-effective device is based on the structured light technique, and the hardware and software is selected according to parameters of the intended scanner characteristic in order to accomplish the best solution for optical 3D imaging.Description
