Camera orientations
For any scanner, it is recommended to keep the laser perpendicular to the surface.
Shadow fields
As there is an angle between the laser plane and the camera, depending on the relief, there can be areas
where the object shadows the camera view. To get points in those areas, simply re-orientate the scanner
and continue.
As a contact probe mounted on a SI arm may occlude the field of view of the RS5 scanner, a
very large shadow field may occur. It is highly recommended to remove any contact probe
from the SI handle before scanning with the RS5.
Over Exposure (RS5 / HP-L-8.9)
Overexposure may result in higher noise points, due to higher risk of reflection. Thus, on shiny, translucid
parts, it is recommended to adjust manually the exposure.
To avoid any reflection or diffusion into the material, it is recommended to reduce manually the exposure.
Total Reflection
Mirror like surfaces can cause a direct reflection from the laser to the camera; avoid these problems through
careful orientation of the sensor as show below.
