Working principle

Artec Spider Il scanner is an instrument that operates on the principle of binocular stereo vision. The LED projector emits blue stripes that are captured by cameras.
3D points are obtained by triangulating camera observations. The optical system is factory-adjusted and calibrated, and individual parameters can be calibrated on the user side to achieve optimal performance. The positioning of the cameras is determined by the reconstruction algorithms’ principles (which ensure unambiguous stereo matching of lines within the operational range), as well as the internal design features and ergonomics

In the center of the scanner is a texture RGB camera, surrounded by a ring of LEDs.
The texture camera does not participate in 3D reconstruction, texture frames are captured immediately after the depth ones. The texture is applied to the 3D surface during processing. Artec Spider Il does not need targets to align frames; it uses texture and geometric features, along with post-processing algorithms to reconstruct scenes based on multiple frames.

Scanning with Artec Spider Il

Recalibrate and warm up scanner
Every Artec scanner is delivered pre-calibrated. However, in some cases, owing to careless handling or transportation (jolts, accidental drops or some other reason),the scanner may fail to capture surfaces properly. The scanned surfaces may onlybe partially reconstructed or may contain holes. You can resolve these issues by recalibrating the scanner right from Artec Studio.

The process is generally very simple and takes no longer than 5 minutes.

1. Open the Scan panel
2. Click the Start button.
3. Scan the QR code in the upper-left corner of the calibration board.
4. Once the QR is code scanned, the warming-up process will begin.
   Note: This is an optional step, but we highly recommend warming up the scanner for better results. Warming up may potentially lead to more precised scanning.
   However, you can proceed to the next step by clicking the Skip button.
5. Follow the calibration process instructions displayed in the 3D scene.
