A low-cost contactless overhead micrometer surface scanner (supplementary material)

<p>This is an open dataset and also the supplementary material for the paper &quot;A low-cost contactless overhead micrometer surface scanner (supplementary material)&quot;, in the Applied Sciences journal, by the same authors.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>The design and implementation of a contactless scanner and its software are proposed. The scanner regards the photographic digitisation of planar and approximately planar surfaces and is proposed as a cost-efficient alternative to off-the-shelf solutions. The result is 19.8 Kppi, micrometer scans, in the service of several applications. Accurate surface mosaics are obtained based on a novel image acquisition and image registration approach that actively seeks registration cues by acquiring auxiliary images and fusing proprioceptive data in the correspondence and registration tasks. The device and operating software are explained, provided as an open prototype, and evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively.</p>
