SCANNING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033294 titled 'SCANNING SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a scanning system that includes a reference structure with multiple fiducial objects and a scanner to scan an object on a platform within the imaging volume of the system. The scan data generated includes a reference component representing the position of the fiducial objects.
- The scanning system includes a reference structure with multiple fiducial objects.
- A scanner is used to scan an object on a platform within the imaging volume of the system.
- The scan data generated includes a reference component representing the position of the fiducial objects.
Potential Applications
- Medical imaging: The scanning system can be used in medical imaging to accurately capture the position and shape of objects within the imaging volume.
- Industrial inspection: The system can be applied in industrial settings to scan and analyze objects for quality control and inspection purposes.
- 3D modeling: The scan data generated by the system can be used to create detailed 3D models of objects for various applications such as virtual reality, animation, and product design.
Problems Solved
- Accurate positioning: The reference structure with fiducial objects allows for precise positioning of the scanned object within the imaging volume, ensuring accurate scan data.
- Object recognition: The fiducial objects serve as reference points for the scanner, aiding in the recognition and tracking of the scanned object.
- Data consistency: The reference component in the scan data helps maintain consistency and alignment between multiple scans of the same object.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy: The use of fiducial objects and the reference component in the scan data enhance the accuracy of the scanning system, resulting in more reliable and precise measurements.
- Time-saving: The system allows for efficient scanning and data collection, reducing the time required for scanning and analysis processes.
- Versatility: The scanning system can be used in various fields and applications, providing a flexible solution for different imaging and scanning needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some examples, a scanning system comprises a reference structure comprising multiple fiducial objects arranged within an imaging volume of the scanning system, and a scanner to scan an object on a platform within the imaging volume of the scanning system to generate scan data, the scan data comprising a reference component representing the position of the multiple fiducial objects.
