High-accuracy Scan: Its added to meet users' needs to higher-precision data capturing. In High-accuracy mode, the processing time for point cloud fusion/mesh/texture will be relatively longer. The differences among these 5 modes are mainly exposure and gain settings:
Feature mode: Designed to scan objects with unique shapes such as sculptures and easily-identifiable features. Marker mode: Designed to scan objects that have large, smooth areas or regularly-repeating features that could fool the POP 2s internal pattern recognition capabilities. Flat planes like a board or symmetrical objects like balls or bowls are usually suitable to scan with this mode. Place tracking markers irregularly on or around the objects. Remember to distribute the markers so they do not have repeating patterns because the scanner determines the relative location of each frame of point cloud data by identifying the unique patterns formed by the markers. Plan ahead to keep six or more markers in view for each frame during the scanning process. adjustment). NOTE: *Marker mode is not available with the Wi-Fi (Hotspot) connection (the data link is too slow for the interactive procedure used by this mode to track the patterns). Face mode: Designed to scan the human face. The exposure and gain are set according to typical skin reflectivity (no Automatic exposure Body mode: Designed to scan a human body or larger objects from a greater distance than is used for the other modes. The exposure and gain are set accordingly (no Automatic exposure adjustment). Dark mode: Designed to scan objects with darker surfaces, such as black or dark gray clothes, black boxes, dark hair, etc. However, not all dark objects can be successfully scanned. One example would be black leather shoes because leather absorbs light (or they are so shiny that they reflect too much light). The exposure and gain are set accordingly (no Automatic exposure adjustment).

(Lower left preview window) When available, switch to "Auto" to find the best overall exposure and then to "Manual" to prevent Handy Scan from continually adjusting the exposure during the scanning process and possibly locking the user interface. Make sure the infrared image (lower left) and point cloud image
(center window) are identical. Click Auto first, then Manual. May enter infinite loop if Auto is left on. If the point cloud (center window) is empty, click the HOME icon to re-center the model on the screen. Adjust Distance The top area of the 3D model preview window shows the distance. Place the POP 2 scanner or the object to confirm an "Excellent" distance and keep it during scanning. If you want better details than the standard, you can move the POP 2 closer to the object, but tracking can be a problem. Keep the distance at Excellent during scanning. Using the Too near distance does create a model with higher accuracy, but it is also more likely to lose tracking. 11 COPYRIGHT 2021 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual Operation Workflow Place an object on a table Connect POP 2 to your PC Start Handy Scan Click "New"

Before scanning, please remove all distracting objects and make sure no irrelevant stuff is in the scanning area. During scanning, please make sure the point cloud in the lower left window is adequate and the distance remains "Excellent". Move the scanner slowly and deliberately during scanning while keeping a relatively fixed distance. Already-scanned sections of the model are displayed in blue. Unless there are holes in the scan, there is no advantage to continuing to scan a blue area (and it will waste memory and processing time). 13 COPYRIGHT 2021 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual While scanning, the 3D Model preview window (center) will display the captured data (shown in blue) and the current data (shown in green).

acquire tracking. Resume scanning when red changes to green. If the 3D Model Preview window displays a "Miss track" notice during scanning, please re-target the POP 2 3D scanner to a previously-scanned area (blue) and keep still for several seconds so that the POP 2 can re-acquire tracking. When the red portion of the display changes to green, scanning can resume. Too Few Points If the "Point Amount Few" prompts appear, check whether the distance between POP 2 and the object is too close or too far and adjust the distance between the POP 2 and the object so that the distance indicator highlights Excellent before scanning is continued. COPYRIGHT 2021 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 18 POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual Detect Plane This prompt appears when a plane or object with too few features is scanned and the POP 2 cannot properly relate the frames point cloud to the other frames. If no usable data has been scanned, the best course of action is to Stop scanning, select Restart to clear out the useless data, then start a new project, this time selecting Marker mode after attaching markers to the scanning surface or the surrounding area to solve this problem. If a significant amount of scan data has been acquired, then Pause the scan, use Undo as necessary to eliminate the chaff, then Stop, Complete and Export the scan data before continuing in Marker mode. If a point cloud alignment error appears in scanning, you can click repeatedly to the point that the 3D model is clean enough to continue or Undo scan save. 19 COPYRIGHT 2021 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual Continue Scan Continue Scan After Mesh
It is possible to continue scanning an object after the point cloud data has been meshed. This can be necessary if the scanning controller (a computer or smartphone) runs out of RAM to capture more frames or if holes in the scan data are discovered. Don't forget to close the RGB mode before continuing. This process can be repeated as needed until the model meets your requirements. Open a model file to scan over holes:
3D model files with defects can be fixed by continuing the scanning process:
