Camera

Mephisto Extreme is based on AVT Pike FireWire camera. This HiDef, robust and reliable camera has high quality Kodak CCD image sensor and 16 bit ADC. Good light sensitivity, low image noise, and 30fps speed makes it excellent image for high resolution fast 3D scanner.

Second camera in Mophisto Extreme 3D scanner is a Canon DSLR camera. Mephisto system can use Canon DSLR as high-resolution texture camera or even as main 3D camera for scanning.

Projection

Mophisto Extreme is using DLP type projectors for binary and fridge pattern projection. DLP projectors have many advantages to compare to other projection technologies and provides excellent base for structured light systems. DLP technology is based on micro-micro device. Every pixel is a tiny mirror that could be switched on and reflect light or switched of. DLP projectors therefore are true digital devices, are very fast in operation, and produce high brightness and high contrast images.

The key part of Mephisto 3D scanner is the software solution. The Mephisto 3D scanning engine is based on 3 core components-Calibration, Processing and IO Interface. Beside this, Mephisto software provides additional features like Turntable mode, and DeepScan. Both features are deeply integrated in the Mephisto 3D engine and are designed to improve workflow and quality of data.
