METIS PHOTOMETRIC STEREO 3D

Nowadays, in most applications (e.g. for industrial decor applications, but also for fine art reproduction), it is very important not only to capture color or a visual 3D appearance, but also to be able to calculate 3D data.

Since 2014, METIS scanners have the new and unique capability of calculate 3D data directly from 2D color data. In fact, after a long development, METIS has been capable of solving all technical and theoretical issues to apply the 3D Photometric Stereo technique to our scanners.

This combined with our scanner’s capability of obtaining a Glossiness map (unique in the world), confirms METIS as the most innovative and technologically advanced scanner manufacturer in the Decor Industry.

METIS SOFTWARE

All METIS software is designed and developed by our in-house R&D department.

Thanks to our proprietary file format (called “MDC”) and a dedicated suite of applications, METIS can provide our customers a complete solution to meet any needs without resorting to software from a third party.

Written in 64bit and optimized for Windows PRO 10, all METIS software is capable of handling many gigabytes of image data in just a few seconds. It is also user-friendly and has features that won’t be found in any other software.

Through continuous investment in R&D, METIS provides the best solutions that the decor industry and cultural heritage markets need for today and the future.
