  • Patent number: 10989525
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scanning of a plurality of objects are disclosed. A laser guided scanning system for scanning includes a laser light configured to switch from a first color to a second color to indicate an exact position to a user for taking a number of shots comprising at least one image of an object. The laser guided scanning system further includes one or more cameras to capture the shots based on an indication from the laser light. The laser guided scanning system also includes a processor to: define a laser center co-ordinate for the object from a first shot of the plurality of shots, wherein the processor defines the exact position for taking the subsequent shot without disturbing the laser center co-ordinate for the object; and stitch and process the plurality of shots to generate at least one 3D model comprising a scanned image of the object.

  • Publication number: 20200226824
    Abstract: A method for three-dimensional (3D) scanning of an object is provided. The method includes taking at least one image shot of the object for scanning; creating a point cloud of the object; providing a feedback on a display screen in real-time so that a user can review at least one of a rendering and scanning of the object in real-time; and rendering the object in real-time by merging and processing the point cloud with at least one image shot for generating a 3D scanned image. When the user wants to make any changes in the rendering of the object then the user provides an input during the rendering and processing of the object for enhancing a quality of the scanned image in real-time. The feedback may be sent to the feedback module in real-time for presenting to the user.
