Obtaining a full image 3D model

Due to the relatively small size of the object, the scanning was performed on a specialised rotary table:

(i) the use of a table with a rich pattern creating a texture covering its surface ensured the continuity of positioning of the obtained scanned points of the object,

(ii) manual rotation of the table made it possible to carefully scan the object with the possibility of returning to previously scanned fragments,

(iii) it was possible to freely turn the object in order to scan non-visible parts,

(iv) the area of the lesions ranged from 0.5 to 1%, which was considered a very good result.

Scanning on a tripod on which the shoe was attached

The use of such a solution leads to:

(i) no need to turn the object over, the object is accessible from all sides,

(ii) an uncomfortable position for the scanner operator and controlling the scanning process on the laptop monitor
