Laser Triangulation for Shape Acquisition in a 3D Scanner Plus Scan

Abstract

It is introduced in this paper the design and development of a three-dimensional scanner, plus scanner, which uses in its data acquisition system the laser triangulation technique, through a line laser generator and a Webcam. The software allows the visualization of the virtual model in a three-dimensional environment controlled by the user; besides, the data can be exported in different formats. The mathematical modeling, the design, implementation and the results are discussed
