Head System

Faces and heads are always interesting to work with because of the 
diversity of their shape, color and size. These wide-ranging features, 
although many, can be digitally acquired with InSpeck systems in mere 
seconds. Faces and heads can be digitized with a single 3D Capturor 
[Small Field] or by using multiple units configured together to work as
a Multi Head system. 

A clear advantage provided by these systems is that acquisition time is 
reduced from a few minutes (single) to a few seconds (Multi Head). 
Combining multiple units together allows users to digitize some subjects 
otherwise impossible with a single machine. Children, facial expressions 
and animals are all fine examples of this situation.

                                    HAIR AND SKIN COLOR

HAIR: Because of its many variants, hair is probably the most difficult 
thing to digitize. Hair can come in all different shapes and sizes and can 
wreak havoc on your system. It is very random and usually thinly stranded 
together, making it impossible for the digitizer to “see” all the hairs. The 
Capturor can overcome this problem. Our developers have worked on a 
special technique that enables our digitizers to capture hair! Dark, light, 
straight or curly: gone are the days when models had to wear shower caps.

SKIN COLOR: Thanks to the contrast adjuster feature on our machines, 
you can digitize any color skin. Regardless of the model’s skin color, the 
texture acquisition is excellent with any of our digitizers.

                                   WHAT CONFIGURATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

One of InSpeck’s digitizer’s great advantages is their configuration 
flexibility due to its Multi Head systems. Users can either use them in 
single or multiple camera configurations.

SINGLE: With a single 3D Capturor configuration, many “shots” have to 
            taken. Each of these shots must have some overlap between each 
            other to permit their registration/alignment. Registration is in fact 
            automatic, but the user must specify the initial points to begin the 
            process more efficiently.

MULTI:  A multiple digitizer configuration consists of 2 or more 3D Capturor 
            digitizers linked together.  A single shot is needed to capture data 
            and it is not necessary to have overlap between cameras because 
            of the calibration process that is done before digitizing. There is 
            also no need for registration/alignment due to previous 
            calibration. Note: Calibration only needs to be done when 
            configuration setup is changed.

After the acquisition, the process remains the same. As the user generates 
the geometry and texture, he should expect the same results with either 
method. The difference is that the time saved with a Multi Head 
configuration is far greater than with a single unit. Finally, if the user is 
unsure of his future digitizing needs, a modular approach consists in 
purchasing one digitizer at a time and scale up. Then, you can either use 
your digitizers together or individually.

                                   SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

Expressions: Ideally you need two digitizers to cover a person’s face from 
ear to ear. Otherwise with a single digitizer you would need three views and 
then stitch them together. Thanks to the calibration target, the two views 
are already aligned together making the merging process a breeze. 
Acquisition time: Less than one (1) second.

The Mega Capturor DF is also a good choice for digitizing faces/heads. The
added advantage is the versatility that the DF procures users with more
versatility. Digitize faces/heads with the DF’s [Small Field] camera
and up to half a body using the [Large Field] camera. Users claim that the
DF’s versatility gives them the freedom to digitize a wider range of
subjects/objects without the hassle of having to purchase two digitizers.

Partial heads: With four digitizers users can easily get a full head without 
the top. Acquisition time: Less than three (3) seconds.

Complete 360° heads: With six digitizers you possess the most 
comprehensive configuration possible to digitize heads because all areas 
of the head are covered. Acquisition time: Less than five (5) seconds.
