Abstract

3D scanning is a surface reconstruction and a data processing technique which has already been widely used in reverse engineering, agricultural identification and other fields. However, most of the Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) 3D scanning instruments are now developed for small and medium-sized targets, and there lacks an effective means for large-scale objects. In this paper, a multi-scale 3D scanning scheme with active-recognition is presented, which can effectively realize 3D information reconstruction of large-scale targets and recognition. First, data collected by 3D scanners based on structured light technology, which are placed at multiple angles, can be aligned together to generate a complete point cloud. Second, in order to achieve the panoramic view of the target, a camera with higher precision is mounted on the robotic arm for close-up shooting of the areas that are not easy to accurately capture. Finally, multi-scale and multi-resolution target scanning are achieved through refined scanning and detail feature recognition. This method combines large-scale structured light scanning with close-range image acquisition, which has potentials in fruit picking positioning, flaw detection of large workpieces, and three-dimensional human body modeling.
