3D Scanning Technology Overview
F6 SMART™ – Volumetric Handheld Camera – User Guide
The F6 SMART™ Camera has one socket (the power and communication connector) that
allows users to either connect it to a USB 3.0 port of the workstation, or charge its
battery by using a Power-Supply / Charger source.
The scanned images are stored on the workstation.
To operate the system, the F6 SMART™ Camera must be connected, via a USB 2.0 cable,
to a Windows-based workstation, on which the Echo™ application software is installed.

During acquisition, the video streams are recorded and processed on the workstation
while each video frame is decoded in real-time into a dense, color point-cloud of the
three-dimensional distance measurements (~ 60,000 points of data per frame). The
software automatically registers (aligns) the frames in the 3D video to recreate the 3D
geometry of the scene and its color information.
