You don’t have to calibrate ASCAND for your phone as ASCAND comes with an out-of-the-box standard calibration, that will produce good results with the vast majority of all supported phones.
If you are experiencing distortions in your 3D models, they are most likely due to the distortion characteristics of the camera optics built into your phone.
To address this, we have added a standard calibration process to analyze your phones “distortion matrix” and apply it to the Scan Videos you are processing.
While the technology is sophisticated, the process is very simple and very straight forward:
Put the Calibration Card into by the Calibration Card Holder that came with your ASCAND.
Make sure the Calibration Card is centered in the Calibration Card Holder and the Laser is switched OFF
Place it on the edge of the turn table
Take a ScanVideo at the slowest Turn Table speed for a MINIMUM OF 60 seconds.
Upload the Calibration ScanVideo to your ASCAND dashboard by clicking on “Start Calibration” in your Profile Section.
ASCAND will analyze it and apply your phone’s specific “distortion matrix” to your future scans.
Done.
