DLP3010EVM-LC: Queries from TIDU985A and DLPU042

Part Number: DLP3010EVM-LC

Query

Reference

1

From our understanding, this section implies a restriction that the object has to be stationary.

Kindly correct us if it is otherwise.

Is any 3D Scanner Software (like TIDA-00361

for DLP3000) available to perform hand-held scanning for any EVM?

Document: TIDU985A

Section:  3.9 Scan object:

2.

This section mentions presence of example like point cloud viewing, taking a picture, opening the camera. Are such examples available for point cloud generation or calibration?

Document: DLPU042

Section: 8 Building the DLP ALC SDK, point 10

3

Do we keep rotating the object and selecting the option 6. Perform scans (vertical pattern only) multiple times to take pictures from all directions to get complete 3D model of the object?

Document: TIDU985A

Section:  3.9 Scan object

4

AS DLPU042 is a guide for DLP ALC SDK, is such guide available for DLP3010EVMLC or DLP4710EVMLC?

 

5

AS TIDU985A mentions what cameras can be specifically used for DLP3000, such data can be available for DLP4500 or other Light crafter EVMs

Document: TIDU985A

 

6

Is the 3D Scanner Software available only for LightCrafter EVMs like DLP3000, DLP4500, DLP6500?

Document: DLPU042

7

Is the stock available for DLPLCR300EVM.

 

  • Hello Sharayu,

    Is any 3D Scanner Software (like TIDA-00361

    for DLP3000) available to perform hand-held scanning for any EVM?

    The DLP3000 DMD and the EVM has been end of life for last couple of years. No new development is recommended on this platform.

    You may want to consider DLP2010LC or DLP301LC based platform for the handheld scanner. 

    This section mentions presence of example like point cloud viewing, taking a picture, opening the camera. Are such examples available for point cloud generation or calibration?

    The application specific algorithms and software are available through our third-party partners.  The following are two such examples. Please reach out to them directly for your requirement:

    BENANO-3P-C2100 by BENANO | TI.com

    POLYGA-3P-3DEVM3010 by POLYGA | TI.com

    You may also want to review the service and solution providers listed in the "Third-party provider search tool" for potential supplier.

    DLP-OMM-SEARCH Optical module | TI.com

    Do we keep rotating the object and selecting the option 6. Perform scans (vertical pattern only) multiple times to take pictures from all directions to get complete 3D model of the object?

    To build a 360 view for 3D model, you would need software /tool which can integrate different perspective into one model. I believe this firmware does not support that capability. I cannot confirm it because we have discontinued support for TIDU985A.

    AS DLPU042 is a guide for DLP ALC SDK, is such guide available for DLP3010EVMLC or DLP4710EVMLC?

     

    TI does not have any such reference design DLP3010EVMLC or DLP4710LC ERMLC.  Please contact third-party solution providers listed in the post.

    AS TIDU985A mentions what cameras can be specifically used for DLP3000, such data can be available for DLP4500 or other Light crafter EVMs

    We do not have such recommendation. You need to review the trigger signals available on those EVM and compare with camera trigger signal. In case, there is difference, you can design a simple interface circuitry to match voltage and current strength required by the camera.

    Is the 3D Scanner Software available only for LightCrafter EVMs like DLP3000, DLP4500, DLP6500?

    DLP3000 has been EOL. You are welcome to use it with DLP4500 EVM but we don't provide technical support for the 3D scanner software. The most efficient option would be to work with third-party in case you need technical assistance and access to algorithm.

    Is the stock available for DLPLCR300EVM.

    DLPLCR300EVM has been End of Life and no new development is recommended on this platform.

  • Hello Mr. Vivek,

    Thank you so much for the detailed information.

    Just one more query.

    The TIDA-00254 Test Results shows use of a DLP® LightCrafterTm 4500 EVM for point cloud generation.

    Just wanted to know if the software used for the same (i.e. the .exe file) can also support hand held scanning.

    Thank you.
