Revo Scan- UI Introduction
In this section, we will introduce the user interface.
1. Main Menu Panel
①Scan: Access the Preview, New Scan and Model List functions. The ‘Preview’ command displays the
POP/POP 2’s scanning as currently configured. The ‘New Scan’ command brings up the configuration
popup (see Section 2 on page 9). The Model List command lists the library of stored scans with the
option to perform various operations on individual files or in Batch mode.
②Guide: Present the User Manual, Quick Start Guide and Scanning Tips, plus a link to the latest software.
③Support: Provide links to the Online Help, FAQ and Forum, plus a link for Feedback. The Online Help allows our
Customer Service Team to support Users in a timely manner, and Feedback is linked to the Revopoint
email [e-mail] , to submit ideas or any other feedback about our products.
④System Settings: Specify language and data storage location, plus the hardware accelerated rendering switch for the
computer’s GPU.
⑤About: Display the version information for the POP/POP 2 and Revo Scan, confirm or configure Wi-Fi and
report bugs.

2. New Scan
①Name: Display the default name of the model to be created. Rename it as needed.
②Location: Display the file folder of the model to be saved. Change as needed.
③Import an external model: Turn on and click “Browse” to import a 3D model in .PLY, .OBJ or .STL formats
into Revo Scan to continue scanning and capture more details.
④Scanning Settings:
Accuracy: Fast Scan and High-Accuracy Scan
Fast Scan: Faster scanning, but the accuracy in this mode is relatively lower than with High-Accuracy
scans.
High Accuracy Scan: Added to meet users' needs for higher-precision data capturing. In High Accuracy mode, the
processing time for point cloud fusion/mesh/texture operations will be relatively longer.
Scan Mode: Include Features, Markers, Face, Head, Body and Dark
Feature: Designed to scan objects with unique shapes such as sculptures and easily-identifiable features.
Marker: Designed to scan objects that have large, smooth areas or regularly-repeating features that could fool the
POP/POP 2’s 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 (the red dots in the display) in view for each frame during
the scanning process.
Dark: Designed to scan objects with darker surfaces, such as black or dark gray clothes, black boxes, 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).
Face: Designed to scan the human face. The exposure and gain are set according to typical skin reflectivity (no
Automatic exposure adjustment).
Head:Designed to scan hair (including dark hair) along with the face.
Body: 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).
Texture: No Color and Colorful
No color: The scanned model has no color information; only the shape information is captured.
Colorful: The object to be scanned has both color and shape information in the scanned 3D model (Revo Scan can only
export color objects in the .PLY & .OBJ file formats).
3. Scanning UI
After clicking “OK” on the New Scan popup, the real scan UI shows:
①Name: Display the Name specified in the New Scan configuration popup.
②RGB Camera: Display the image captured by the RGB Texture camera.
Note: The Grid option aids in positioning the object to be scanned so that the cameras can see it.
③Depth Camera: Display the 3D point cloud data that can be captured with the current Exposure setting.
Note: The Clip Plane option is designed to remove unwanted planes in the scene such as the
turntable, desktop or floor. Objects with significant flat areas can fool this tool, so it may be
necessary to untick this option.
④3D Model
Preview Window: Display the 3D model data that will be captured when scanning starts or all of the data that has
been captured after scanning has started. The view of the model may be dragged or zoomed in
the 3D Model preview area by the mouse (Left Mouse Button: Rotate the model; Wheel: Zoom
in/out).

⑤Tool bar：
Icon : Reset the view of the model to the default position in the 3D Model Preview Area. This is determined by
the first scanned frames of the object.
Icon : Hide or show the background in the 3D Model Preview window.
Icon : Switch between Color/No-color point cloud data.
Note: If No Color was specified in the New Scan configuration popup, the icon is displayed as locked ( ).
⑥Scanning
Distance: Too near, Excellent, Good, Too Far. ~
Placing the POP/POP 2 or the object to be scanned so that it is in the Excellent zone will have
the best balance of resolution and tracking. Adjust the optimal distance according to the prompt.
Higher-resolution scans can be made in the “Too near” range, but it is more likely that tracking
will be lost.
⑦Exposure and
Gain adjustment: Brightness and Gain (the sun icon ) can be manually adjusted for best results (the areas not
displayed in red will return point cloud data while scanning). Some Scan Modes allow for
Automatic adjustment to find the best setting, but remember to switch to Manual before
scanning to prevent exposure variations that interfere with data capture.
⑧Timer：Count down from an arbitrary number (default is 3 seconds) to indicate the time remaining
before scanning.
⑨Function Buttons:
Icon / : Start or pause scanning.
Icon : Stop the current scanning project. A popup will allow choosing between completing the scan
(fusing the Point Cloud) or deleting the entire project to start over from Step 1.
Icon and : Undo or Redo several scanned frames of the model at a time.
Mesh : Maps the scanned 3D point cloud data into planes or triangles.
If "No Color" was selected when the Scan Mode was defined, the model only consists of point
cloud and mesh information.
If the "Color" option was selected, then the model will also contain the color information of
each point.
Texture : Match pixels of the picture on the mesh model to improve the texture and color resolution.
Export : Export the completed 3D model.
The text icon” Save The Settings” is used to keep the Scan Settings in New Scan and Parameters in Scanning UI.

Click New Scan to select Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture
Once connected successfully, the device is ready to scan. Configure the desired operational characteristics as described in
Section 2. New Scan (see p. 9-10) of the UI Introduction.
Confirm distance to be "Excellent"
After specifying the Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture options, press “OK” to enter the scanning page. The top area of the
3D Model Preview window shows the distance. Position the POP 2 scanner or the object to confirm an "Excellent" distance
and keep it during scanning. Higher-resolution scans are possible in the “Too near” range, but tracking is more likely to be
lost.
Adjust the brightness in the RGB Camera and Depth Camera
Adjust the Sun Icon on both of the smaller displays (for Android and iPhone smartphones, click on the Gear icon in the
upper right of each small window to make the controls visible). If available, try Auto first, but switch back to Manual before
capturing data to prevent lockups.

Start or Pause Scanning
Click / to Start/Pause scan. The number above the Start button is the countdown before scanning starts.
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).

After clicking Stop, it is possible to resume scanning (say, after repositioning either the POP/POP 2 or the object being
scanned). If this is desired, then be sure to move the slider switch for “Fuse point cloud immediately?” to the right before
clicking “Complete”. The scan data will be fused into a point cloud immediately. After this, meshing the point cloud data or
resume scanning are available.
Inactive button in the Stop’s popup (so that Fusing is a manual operation, allowing changes in the preset):

After clicking “Complete”, the next step is to fuse the point cloud data, as shown below:
Click the drop-down arrow to display the Fuse setting. The smaller the point pitch, the better the result. But the point pitch
of the fused object cannot be smaller than the point pitch of the original scan. The pitch point is at a minimum of 0.1 mm for
the POP 2. Smaller pitch points result in higher resolution, but also more processing time.

POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual
19 COPYRIGHT ©2022 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Mesh
Click to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh.
In the drop-down box, settings for Mesh Quality and Denoise are provided:
With higher Mesh Quality settings, more details are captured in the resulting model, at the expense of longer processing
times. The higher the Denoise setting, the smoother the result. Depending on the object, high levels of noise reduction may
result in lost detail. The results of the Fill Hole switch may be undesirable if the holes are too large.
Texture
The Texture function only applies to scans made with the "Colorful" option selected (see New Scan options on p. 9).
Click to apply texture to the model.
