Ok, i see it may lead also in bigger point clouds which need more graphic card power. Nothing to edit with a laptop on the sofa ;) At least a dead end road.
The Ciclop hardware and Horus software are both open source. You can tweak the software and hardware to support a different camera if you wanted to. :)
It could helps a lot for the scanned colours. also a good light setup for the object , thinking about photo result. about the geometry nothing can be done.
The camera doesn't actually connect to the Ciclop. The camera connects to your PC and the host software (called Horus) controls the Ciclop while it samples video from the camera.
Probably? As long as you feel like hacking around with the software you can probably use almost any camera. Soon, we should start seeing cheaper and more popular RGBD cameras and you won't even need a laser anymore... See tech like Intel RealSense for an idea.
@tamarintech, the rgb-d camera’s are already cheap $35-$40. One would just need to experiment. There are also industrial cameras 3D scanner specific and I beleive hp, Sony and others sell them however they are $200 plus each. If I recall the HP is scan specific with there software to hang over a monitor and you put whatever you want in its range of view for scanning. I don’t know enough about it or whether the camera itself replaces the entire ciclops platform. I will have to go back and take a look again.
Thank you! There was a little piece of plastic locking the focus on my C270. Just pushed it out of the way and it focused perfectly.
Thank you so much for making this video! Completely changed the quality of my picture.
Absolute legend 👑
Thanks for posting this video! :D
Tanks, I help me to much for calibrate the scanner Ciclop.
Interesting!
Thanks for the hint and the video :) Already adjusted. Do you think a "better" USB camera (like this one) will improve the quality of the scans ?
It does *but* you'll have to tweak Horus to get the camera exactly calibrated.
It can be a little frustrating.

a wise thing could be using any camera you want...

I know this a silly question where dose the usb to the go on the ciclop

would it be posible to use a dsrl camera with ciclops scanner instead of that web cam?
Probably?
