Low-Cost Monocular Structured Light Installation Tutorial | 3D Structured Light 3D Reconstruction Guide
With the rapid development of 3D vision and digital manufacturing today, 3D structured light technology has become an important tool in industrial inspection, 3D modeling, scientific research and education. However, for beginners, expensive equipment and complex debugging processes often become obstacles to getting started.
To address this, Xiangxi Intelligent has launched a low-cost monocular structured light system — an open-source platform designed for teaching and research. It not only significantly reduces hardware investment but also specially shot a 3D structured light installation tutorial, allowing anyone to get started easily and achieve accurate structured light 3D reconstruction.
Product Goal: Provide the first 2 sets of low-cost, open-source integrated structured light modules for learning and evaluation to individuals, students, schools, and research institutions that learn, use, and research structured light 3D vision-related technologies.
Product Advantages:
- Open-Source Code: Provide source code for customers to learn and imitate, enabling quick mastery of 3D vision technologies related to 3D structured light;
- Low Cost: Low hardware cost and even lower R&D and learning costs. The unit price of our complete monocular structured lightsystem is 4980 yuan, with complete accessories to immediately carry out project R&D and learning, reducing the time by more than 1 month.
- Easy to Get Started: Complete hardware, open-source software, and multiple tutorials facilitate the rapid launch of projects and research.
Target Customers: Individuals who are learning, using, and researching high-precision 3D structured light-related products for the first time.
I. Installation Preparation: Start the Journey of Learning low-cost structured light
Before installation, first check whether the accessories are complete, including the camera, optical engine, turntable, calibration board, etc. It should be noted that 3D printed parts are not included after purchase; drawings will be provided after confirming receipt, which can be printed by yourself.
This low-cost structured light system is specially designed for learning and evaluating 3D vision algorithms, suitable for individuals, schools, and research institutions. All hardware has been optimized, paired with open-source code and teaching videos, making 3D structured light installation intuitive and easy to understand.
By simplifying the hardware structure, Xiangxi Intelligent allows users to complete 3D structured light installation in the shortest time and quickly achieve high-precision structured light 3D reconstruction.
II. Platform Assembly
1.Set up the framework.
2. Fix the support plate to the platform with long screws of any specification.
3.Install the camera on the fixing plate with 3 M3*5 screws.
4.Install the camera and optical engine in their corresponding positions.
5.Fix the calibration board on the universal head with blue tack. After calibration, the calibration board can be replaced with a platform.
This low-cost structured light module adopts a modular design, which is convenient for replacing the optical engine and lens, and supports various 3D scanning and experimental scenarios. Whether for teaching demonstrations or scientific research verification, it can show the stable performance of monocular structured light.
III. Wiring and Startup
1.Start wiring after setting up the framework and check whether the wiring is complete.
2.HUB Wiring: Note that the DMD is particularly vulnerable to electrostatic damage (it is recommended to use an anti-static wristband). When wiring, connect all wires to the HUB board, camera, and optical engine first, then connect to the computer and power on.
The monocular structured light system launched by Xiangxi Intelligent not only achieves a breakthrough in low-cost structured light in terms of hardware, but also promotes the democratization process of structured light 3D scanning technology through the full release of open source code. To support college students in in-depth learning of structured light 3D scanning technology, we specially launch an educational discount program: individual students can contact customer service with valid certificates when purchasing to enjoy exclusive preferential prices, helping every learner aspiring to structured light 3D scanning to get started easily and make efficient progress with a high-quality yet affordable 3D scanner.
Our 3D scanners make scanning and modeling more efficient. Want a low cost but high quality 3D scanner?We’re here waiting for your inquiry of our 3D scanners.
4.Manual focusing.
5.Adjust the angles of the optical engine and camera: The distance between the calibration board and the camera is 300mm, and the mark point position is the recommended fixed position. At this time, the camera can capture the entire field of view of the projector.
So far, the 3D structured light installation is completed. Run the calibration program on the software side to complete system initialization. After successful calibration, you can officially perform structured light 3D reconstruction.
The biggest advantages of this system are: low hardware cost, simple installation, high precision, and all data interfaces are open, facilitating users’ secondary development and algorithm research. Through this 3D structured light installation tutorial, beginners can easily install and learn structured light 3D reconstruction.
