Calibrating the scanner 

You​

 ​

need​

 ​

to​

 ​

perform​

 ​

calibration​

 ​

in​

 ​

order​

 ​

to​

 ​

ensure​

 ​

the​

 ​

work​

 ​

of​

 ​

the​

 ​

scanner​

 ​

after the

 

adjustment​

 ​

of​

 ​

lenses.​

 ​

Specifically​

 ​

for​

 ​

this​

 ​

purpose​

 ​

we​

 ​

use​

 ​

the​

 ​

calibration​

 ​

plate, which​

 ​

is

 

pre-measured​

 ​

with​

 ​

high​

 ​

accuracy​

 ​

.​

 ​

Scanning​

 ​

software​

 ​

analyzes​

 ​

the​

 ​

image​

 ​

of the​

 ​

plate,

 

obtained​

 ​

from​

 ​

the​

 ​

cameras​

 ​

and​

 ​

compares​

 ​

it​

 ​

with​

 ​

the​

 ​

mathematical​

 ​

model, marked​

 ​

by

 

the​

 ​

algorithm. 

There​

 ​

are​

 ​

3​

 ​

types​

 ​

of​

 ​

calibration:​

 ​

Full​

 ​

calibration​

, ​

automatic​

 ​

calibration​

,​

 ​

fast​

 ​

calibration

 

(orientation)​

 ​

and​

 ​

Calibration​

 ​

of​

 ​

turntable​

 ​

(finding​

 ​

the​

 ​

table​

 ​

axis)​

 

Full​

 

and​

 

automatic​

 

calibrations​

 

are​

 

used:

 

before​

 

work​

 

with​

 

the​

 

scanner, 

after​

 

transporting​

 

the​

 

scanner. 

 

Fast​

 

calibration​

 

is​

 

used:

 

if​

 

you​

 

suspect​

 

that​

 

the​

 

camera​

 

moved​

 

due​

 

to​

 

unreliable​

 

mounting, 

if​

 

you​

 

want​

 

to​

 

check​

 

the​

 

accuracy​

 

of​

 

performed​

 

calibration. 

 

Calibration​

 

of​

 

rotary​

 

table​

 

is​

 

performed:

 

in​

 

case​

 

of​

 

any​

 

change​

 

in​

 

the​

 

position​

 

of​

 

the​

 

rotary​

 

table​

 

to​

 

the​

 

scanner 

(when​

 

scanning​

 

on​

 

the​

 

turntable). 

 
Calibration​

 

of​

 

rotary​

 

table​

 

is​

 

described​

 

in​

 

the​

 

Scanning​

 

on​

 

the​

 

turntable​

 section. 

Calibration​

 ​

plate 

Calibration​

 

plate​

 

is​

 

a​

 

special​

 

plate​

 

with​

 

markers,​

 

the​

 

distance​

 

between​

 

which​

 

is 

measured​

 

with​

 

high​

 

accuracy.​

 

It​

 

is​

 

used​

 

for​

 

setting​

 

up​

 

a​

 

scanner​

 

and​

 

its​

 

calibration.
