Area of Science:

  • 3D Reconstruction
  • Metrology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • High-fidelity 3D reconstruction of human-sized objects typically demands expensive, complex multi-sensor systems or suffers from inconsistency with low-cost handheld scanners.
  • Existing methods often require proprietary hardware, external tracking markers, or operator-dependent techniques, limiting accessibility and repeatability.
  • A need exists for a controlled, affordable, and repeatable scanning method for high-quality 3D data acquisition without specialized hardware.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel marker-less scanning platform for accurate, human-scale 3D reconstruction.
  • To demonstrate a system capable of generating high-quality 3D models using a single sensor and constrained kinematics.
  • To provide an accessible alternative to industrial multi-sensor systems for detailed object scanning.

Main Methods:

  • A single structured-light sensor mounted on a vertical linear actuator, synchronized with a motorized turntable, forms the core system.
  • A sensor-assisted initialization strategy addresses geometric ambiguity in vertical translational symmetry using encoder feedback.
  • A two-step Iterative Closest Point (ICP) procedure reconstructs the model, mitigating vertical drift and model collapse.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved high sampling stability with a mean surface density of 0.760 points/mm² on front-facing surfaces.
  • Geometric deviation analysis showed a mean signed error of -1.54 mm (σ= 2.27 mm) relative to a CAD reference.
  • A relative volumetric error of approximately 0.096% was achieved over the full vertical span of the scanned anthropometric benchmark object.

Conclusions:

  • A single-sensor system guided by precise, constrained kinematics can achieve rigorous accuracy in 3D reconstruction.
  • The developed platform effectively mitigates artifacts like non-linear bending and drift common in handheld scanning methods.
  • This approach offers an accessible and accurate alternative to costly industrial multi-sensor scanning solutions for human-scale objects.
