About ScanMatter
Scanmatter offers highly accurate CMM scanning (Coordinate Measurement Machine) and large-area Lidar scanning. The company's services apply to a wide and colorful assortment of entertainment industry applications. Lidar scanning gives the production the ability to scan very large areas, ranging from cityscapes (as in Day After Tomorrow) to vast desert settings (as in 10,000 BC). After scanning, ScanMatter translates the data into information that can be transformed into highly detailed digital sets.
In addition, ScanMatter's CMM services allow clients the flexibility and versatility of being able to scan objects for product accuracy, or to derive highly-detailed texture information for texture mapping. As Mr. Carr explains, "You're getting your information from a three-dimensional source, which gives you exponentially more information than a two-dimensional projection."
"With our production experience, ScanMatter has the ability to produce a wide variety of deliverables. I chose the Riegl scanning system due to it's robust nature in all weather conditions. Additionally it's ability to use Lidar scanning in conjunction with photogrammetry, generates accuracy to within one pixel."
Kevin’s years of experience with precise scanning systems makes ScanMatter a complete production solution.
