Design of a fast 3D scanner

Nowadays, 3D Laser Scanning technology is utilized in a variety of fields in modern world technology including healthcare systems, sciences and educations, arts, designs and industrial designs, and manufacturing. 3D Scanning of any objects can be done by three major processes which are; 3D data acquisition, cleaning, alignment and surface reconstruction. The project goal is describing the whole process steps of a three-dimensional scanner of any indoor object from 3D data and also characterizing forms each of the data acquisition, alignment, and surface reconstruction processes in detail separately. However, the design of hardware, software and completion have already been made and described each and every step of the object 3D modeling with a perfect realizing of the scanner is obtained. After reviewing the existing data acquisition frameworks and discuss their advantages and disadvantages, as a result, three-dimensional laser scanner was selected to be the most precise and fast data acquisition system suitable for scanning indoor objects. Red laser line diode utilized. The project 3D laser scanner is a simple and lightweight light which is easily moved from one place to another and also can be easily configured as well as, 3D laser scanner operates properly, and the accuracy and high resolution of the scan results in 3D model form. For the alignment or registration of 3D data obtained by the 3D laser scanner, in this research, we utilized the method formed with an academic software called Meshlab which is heavily rooted in the VCG library developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI - CNR. A few initial examples result of this method are given in this paper. Also, additional work is desirable to apply this method to reconstruct the surfaces of a complete 3D model of any scanned object.
