structured light projector, two (or more) industrial cameras, a computing unit for 3D
digital image processing, and a calibration board for calibrating the above equipment
and Markers and other attachments. IReal 2S is a cost-effective handheld color 3D
scanner carefully upgraded by Hangzhou Scantech. It can scan without sticking points,
and can obtain high-definition delicate color textures, which fully meets the user's
scanning needs for large and medium-sized objects and human body parts. Lightweight
and portable design, easy-to-use software, ideal for handheld scanning users in non-
industrial fields.
This manual mainly introduces the use of iReal 2S series handheld color 3D
scanners (hereinafter referred to as iReal 2S scanner, iReal 2S or scanner).

4 Quick start process
This chapter mainly describes the calibration and basic scanning operation process
of the iReal 2S series.
4.1 Calibration
For the first use of the scanner, you need to calibrate the device before scanning,
the purpose is to calibrate the camera parameters. The following situations require
calibration of the equipment:
①Use the equipment for the first time;
②The equipment has not been used for a long time;
③The equipment is shaken / transported;
④The amount of scanning data in a single frame is small;
⑤The data cannot be spliced.
The device is successfully connected, you need to wait for the computer
to successfully recognize the camera driver (3-5 seconds), and then open
the software for calibration / basic scanning operations.
