The NEW V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature from SMA Electronic Document GmbH of Germany
The NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature is now incorporated in the SMA SCAN MASTER & VersaScan product line which includes the SMA models SCAN MASTER 0 = A0+ – 1 = A1+ & 2 = A2+ & the SMA VersaScan flatbed scanner models 2550 = 25 inches wide by 50 inches long or DIN A1+, 3650 = 36 inches wide by 50 inches long or DIN A0+ & 36100 = 36 inches wide by 100 inches long or DIN Double A0+, plus A1+ & A2+ models with special production versions available.
NOTE: SMA recently manufactured a specialised customised scanner for originals up to:
- 48 inches = 1,219mm wide x 80 inches = 2,032mm long &
- 48 wide = 1,219mm x 100 inches = 2,540mm long.
The whole SMA Book & Flatbed Scanner Range now incorporates the this NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature scanning in 2.5D scanning mode to capture surface contours and produce 3D-like surface recognition images, which are very natural looking images of the highest quality.
This NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature can be implemented for a wide variety of surface control and presentation applications.
The NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature is a feature you have to see for yourself to believe.
How does the NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature work?
Technically it works like this:
There are TWO-2 lamps in the SMA Scanner Range Scan Heads – with a top lamp and a bottom lamp.
In a normal 2D scanning process both lamps are ON.
With the NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like mode every line of pixels takes three shots:
- Top light only,
- Bottom light only and
- Both lights on.
The firmware then merges all THREE-3 images.
That’s why the NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature looks 3D-Like.
The NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like Scanning Feature provides the operator with a major advantage when it comes to structured surfaces or things like metal, seals or anything that is shiny or reflective.
Sometimes there are golden or silver like prints located in books requiring scanning.
When scanned with an overhead scanner the image created looks very unusual & of poor quality.
The viewer can’t even see in the scan what the original was like as the metal effect disappears and is turned into grey or dark yellow or beige.
Even with the previous SMA models the MAP MASTER now called the VERSASCAN & SCAN MASTER the Coins as shown in the attached SMA VersaScan 2D V 2.5D Scanning Sample of the FIVE-5 Coins scanned in 2D Mode are less clear than the coins captured using the NEW – SMA V3D which stands for VISUAL 3D = 3D Like mode.
With the NEW – SMA 2.5D = 3D Like Scanning Feature scanning the gold, silver & copper coins & images in Books appear more true to the original!
Many Library & Archival Institutions are aware of this problem and are searching for a solution to be able to capture these difficult originals true to the color.
The NEW – SMA 2.5D = 3D Like Scanning Feature provides that solution.
