CodingStrategy

Type of structured light pattern sequence used by the Computational Image Sensor of MotionCam-3D (Color).

Interreflections:

Suppresses the effect of interreflections and thus is recommended for majority of scenes.

Normal:

Might have at rare occasions better results for specific scenes.

High-frequency:

HighFrequency is useful for scanning of shiny and glossy surfaces as it greatly suppresses interreflections. Its usage may also help for scanning of semi-transparent objects.

LEDShutterMultiplier

LED Shutter Multiplier influences the scanning process by adjusting the exposure time specifically for capturing the texture image using LED lighting. This setting increases the texture acquistion time by a factor equal to the LED Shutter Multiplier, thereby controlling the amount of light utilized for texture capture.

A higher LED Shutter Multiplier value enhances the visibility of fine details in textured materials, making it ideal for objects with intricate surfaces. Conversely, setting the value too low may result in insufficient exposure, leading to a loss of texture detail. On the other hand, an excessively high value could result in overexposure, potentially washing out texture information.

Default value: 0 (value of Shutter multiplier is used)

PatternDecompositionReach

Pattern Decomposition Reach is mostly used to scan objects that are harder to scan due to challenging scanning angles, dark color, or higher shine. It helps to correct or eliminate points that have higher computation errors.

To correctly decode the series of light patterns for each pixel, the values of surrounding pixels are taken into account. If the difference between them is larger than expected, the value of the candidate pixel is adjusted. This way some errors that are identified during computation are corrected. If the difference between neighboring pixels is too large, the candidate pixel is filtered out. The size of the pixel neighborhood considered during the computation is adjusted via this setting. Options include Local (considers only the pixel itself), Small, Medium, or Large area surrounding the evaluated pixel.

  E.g. you can specify Camera Space Min Z to 500 and Camera Space Max Z to 1000 to filter all data that are outside of this Z region.

SignalContrastThreshold

Represents per pixel threshold for the pattern contrast. To have an intuition, you can switch texture source to Focus and look into the image.

The difference of intensity values between white and black stripes is considered a contrast. Lower contrast could be caused by multiple reasons, such as inter-reflections, dark albedo materials or low shutter settings.

CodingStrategy

Type of projected structured light patterns.

Interreflections:

Suppreses the effect of interreflections and thus is recommended for majority of scenes.

Normal:

Might have at rare occasions better results for specific scenes.

High-frequency:

HighFrequency is useful for scanning of shiny and glossy surfaces as it greatly suppresses interreflections. Its usage may also help for scanning of semi-transparent objects.

Default value: Interreflections

Exposure

In scanner mode, the length of exposure of one pattern. (16 patterns + texture by default). This value is in milliseconds.

Higher value slows down the movement of the mirror in the projection unit, thus pattern is projected longer. Setting this value higher may be useful when scanning dark or very shiny objects, or when there is another source of strong light and the projected pattern might not be easily visible.

TextureSource

Defines the light source for capturing 2D texture of the scene.

LED:

Triggers additional LED flash from projection unit. Result is nice toned texture.

Computed:

Texture is generated from structured pattern projection without additional light flash. Result is lower texture quality.

Computed (Enhanced):

Texture is generated from structured pattern projection without additional light flash. Result is lower texture quality. The projection stripes are suppressed. This option is not available on devices with Powell lens based projector.

Laser:

Triggers additional Laser diode flash. Useful to investigate the light conditions of the scene.

Laser (Enhanced):

The scene is illuminated by the Laser diode flash. No additional image is required. Images might have speckles (laser noise). The projection stripes are suppressed. The suppression does not work in 2D mode. This option is not available on devices with Powell lens based projector.

Focus:

Uses one structured light pattern. Useful to investigate contrast of the scene.

Color:

Captures an additional image illuminated with the white LED flash that offers a speckle-free 2D RGB image (MotionCam-3D Color only).
