I just got my Revopoint MetroX and I wanted to better understand how the error increases as you scan large objects. The scanner uses the retroreflective markers to align the scan data from each frame. As you move further away from the first scan, the "leap frog" error increases. I used a large piece of float glass to test this. The glass is very flat (ie. a plane). When you scan the full plate the resulting data should exactly fit to a plane. Typically because of the error, the data "potato chips". This is a stress test designed to check marker detection & tracking. It is not how you would actually scan a flat object.
Check out my video ( youtu.be/ZR7BsNMlMZQ ) if you want a more detailed explanation.
In my MetroX test over 1.6M I got a 6mm error. If you best-fit the entire scan data, you get Max positive error 1.857mm and Max Negative error 0.911mm. The Std.Dev. of the fit is 0.626mm
Things I used:
* Revopoint MetroX 3D Scanner ( amzn.to/4gKZvow )
