The color (RGB) video Camera channel captures the video frames containing the light
reflected from the environment including color information with the pattern draped over
it.
Each video frame can be decoded in real time into a dense colored point-cloud of the
three-dimensional distance measurements.
The F6 SMART™ Handheld 3D Camera
The handheld F6 SMART™ Camera combines two video cameras:
● A Color (RGB) Camera, and
● An Near-Infrared Camera (the NIR Sensor).
It also employs a laser-based infrared (IR) light emitter (the Projector).
The cameras and projector are mounted on the ends of an anodized aluminum dowel,
coated with an ergonomic rubberized hand grip.

The Projector casts IR light (850nm in wavelength) onto the scene through a slide (mask)
containing Mantis Vision’s patented single-coded pattern.
The F6 SMART™ Camera has a working range of 60 cm to 4 m (24 " to 160").
The Power/Scan Button enables the user to power the device on and off as well as start
and stop scanning.
