1.15.0

2025-05-26 - Compatible with MotionCam-3D (Color), PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen2

(shipped after Nov 2021), Alpha 3D Scanner

SCAN-5721

Added support for Marker Dot Correction, enabling the sensor to maintain the point cloud at a fixed position relative to rigid Marker Dots installed in the scene. The feature is available in Processing Settings and introduces two new parameters: “Operation Mode” (with options: Off, Passive, Active, Reference recording) and “Max Marker Shift (pixel).” The GigE Vision interface has been extended accordingly. This feature is available only on devices shipped after May 26, 2025, with firmware version 1.15.0 or higher.

SCAN-5720

A new ISO setting has been added to control the primary sensor’s light sensitivity. Higher ISO values increase brightness but may introduce noise, potentially affecting texture and point cloud quality. The setting is also available via the GigE Vision interface.

SCAN-5683

Added support for the new “Auto” Maintenance Mode, enabling the Autonomous Maintenance feature (also via GigE Vision interface). This mode can be used to check and improve the consistency of device calibration.

SCAN-5649

When “Calibration Volume Only” is disabled, we now keep 3D points also outside of the calibrated _elevation range_ known to contain the full projection strength. The vertical field of view has thus been slightly increased. Note that these additional points may have lower quality due to reduced projection contrast.

SCAN-5529

The device now serves its Verification Report, confirming successful completion of the final quality check. The report can be accessed via PhoXi Control (version 1.15.0 or higher) from the Maintain menu within Network Discovery, or through a direct HTTP access point. Available for devices shipped after May 2025 with firmware version 1.15.0 or higher.

SCAN-4921

SCAN-5121

Enhanced Color Settings: Added support for cropping the full ColorCameraImage through new settings: “ROI Mode” (Standard, Extended, Custom) and “ROI” (Xmin, Ymin, Xmax, Ymax). This enables reduced computation, faster transfer times, and optimized reprojection to Camera Space = ColorCamera within the 3D point limit. The default “ROI Mode” is now Standard, which provides an optimal ColorCameraImage crop aligned with the calibrated scanning volume. To restore the previous behavior, set “ROI Mode” to Extended.

SCAN-5288

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Clock: The PTP master priority has been lowered to improve compatibility in multi-device environments. As a result, the device is now more likely to operate as a slave device, expecting a local system clock to act as the master clock.

SCAN-5316

Firmware update for the projection unit with an enhanced thermal and power management. The projector automatically disables itself when power throttling, improving device protection and reliability.

SCAN-5330

Added two new modes to CameraSpace - “MarkerOrthoCamera”, which reprojects the 3D data (including the depth map) as if it were captured by an orthogonal (i.e., telecentric) camera positioned perpendicular to a marker board, and “Custom Camera”, which reprojects the 3D data into the perspective of a custom external camera. This external camera can be, for instance, a high-quality color camera, a special multi-spectral camera, or an infrared camera. Such a setup is demonstrated in the new _ReprojectionToExternalCamera_ API example.

SCAN-5372

GigE Vision interface: Expanded General, Color, and Coordinates Settings with new options.

SCAN-5379

All Factory Profiles for all product families have been updated to include new settings.

SCAN-4805

Introduced a new “Log Level” setting in General Settings across all product families, enabling precise control over device logging, from minimal logs to detailed traces for diagnostics. The updated logging mechanism enhances support for real-time applications while maintaining flexibility for troubleshooting. Additionally, optimizations in the logging mechanism contribute to more stable FPS performance and lower jitter, ensuring smoother operation in time-sensitive applications.

SCAN-4858

All Photoneo sensors now report their hardware specifications, offering easier access to key device details. Users can retrieve information such as Laser Color (Red/Blue), Laser Class (LC2/LC3), device model (Color/Alpha), and the current Laser Interlock activation status. This data is available in Network Discovery within PhoXi Control’s GUI and is also exposed via the PhoXi API.

SCAN-4333

A new “Maintenance Mode” setting has been added under General Settings (available only for MotionCam-3D Color), designed to help check and improve device calibration consistency. At present, only the default “Off” option is available for all devices. However, future MotionCam-3D Color devices will include an additional “Stereo” mode.
