Artec Leo
Note: In the HD mode, you can capture dark or shiny surfaces in high resolution,
in their original shape and with no extra steps. See HD Mode for details.
2.1.4 About Targets
Typically, a target is a round sticker that has a black ring with a white circle in
the center. The targets are placed on the object being scanned to ease identi-
cation of the various regions. Using the target-assisted scanning allows you to
scan larger areas in one session, improve the accuracy of captured surfaces and
boost productivity by reducing postprocessing time. You do not need to align
the scanned surfaces after scanning, so you can immediately proceed to fusion
(see Artec Studio Manual for details). The only downside of this method is the
necessity of preparation.
To enable the target-assisted scanning with Leo, you need to perform the following
steps:
1. Prepare a special target le in the OBC format that contain the coordinates
of the targets. Such a le can be obtained, for example, by means of the
Scan Reference kit (see Scanning with photogrammetry for details).
2. Upload the target le to Leo and make it a default one (see Enable Target-
Assisted Scanning for details).
After that, you can proceed to the Target-Assisted Scanning.

preview, i.e. building surfaces without recording them.
2. Adjust either parameter as necessary.
3. Direct the scanner at the object.
4. Practice your movements and assess the quality of the surface being recon-
structed on the screen.
5. Once you’re ready, tap or press the start/stop button
