[0002] Three-dimensional scanning is a high-tech that integrates optics, mechanics, electronics, and computer technologies. It is mainly used to scan the spatial shape, structure, and color of an object to obtain the spatial coordinates of the object's surface. Its important significance lies in being able to convert the three-dimensional information of the physical object into digital signals that can be directly processed by a computer, providing a quite convenient and fast means for the digitalization of physical objects. Three-dimensional scanning technology can achieve non-contact measurement and has the advantages of high speed and high precision.
