4. Introduction • Has digitalizing software that enables a user to select specific points on a target object. • Employs laser-beam light sectioning technology to scan work pieces. • The laser beam is scanned using a high-precision galvanometric mirror, and 640 × 480 individual points can be measured per scan. • Can also be used to acquire color image data, by using a rotating filter.

5. Specifications • Scan range (depth of field) 0.6 to 2.5m (2m for WIDE lens) • Autofocus Image surface AF (contrast method); active AF • Optimal 3D measurement range 0.6 to 1.2m • Number of output pixels 3D data: 307,000 (FINE mode), 76,800 (FAST mode) Color data: 640 × 480 × 24 bits color depth • Recording medium Compact flash memory card (128MB) • Data file size Total 3D data and color data capacity: 1.6MB (FAST mode) per data, 3.6MB (FINE mode) per data • http://www.konicaminolta.com/instruments/products/3d/non-contact/vivid910/specifications.html

7. Comparison

8. Benefits • It is portable • Fast Scan time of 0.3 seconds • Easy To Use: The point-and-shoot simplicity of auto focus and auto exposure enables anyone to get expert results • Versatile: can capture scan areas from 36X27 up to 90X120 cm • The subject can be located from 0.6 to 2.0 meters form the scanner. • Color Texture Maps: capture texture map images with zero parallax. • Utility Software Features: include Minolta’s own polygon editing software suite

9. Applications • UNC Charlotte Machine vision lab acquires a new vivid 910. • Used for kayak design by Watermark. • Images used in FRGC for 3D Images

10. Conclusion VIVID 910 - In a Class by Itself The new leader in: • Speed - scans in less than one second (Fast Mode) • Precision - over 300,000 points with range resolution to 0.0016" (Fine Mode) • Simplicity - point and shoot simplicity for consistently excellent results • Flexibility - only Konica Minolta offers interchangeable lenses for variable scanning volumes • Value - Konica Minolta sets a new price / performance threshold

11. Commentary • The Vivid 910 scanner from Konica Minolta [16] uses a single camera and laser stripe, and acquires 3D data using triangulation. • This scanner is not designed specifically for faces as the subject must remain motionless during that time or a poor scan will result. • There are three different zoom lenses available and an automatic focus system that allows scanning at a wide variety of distances from the camera (there is a tradeoff between image resolution and standoff) • It is somewhat sensitive to lighting conditions, but generally operates well indoors away from sunlight. • Hence, It’s an excellent accuracy device, but can improve more based on its cost of $40,000.
