Precision Assessment of Artec Space Spider 3D Handheld Scanner for Quantifying Tufa Formation Dynamics on Small Limestone Plates (PLs)

In this paper precision assessment of the 3D handheld scanner, Artec Space Spider was evaluated and critically observed. Namely, a new application of handheld 3D scanners has been found in quantifying tufa formation dynamic (TFD). Such measurements should be characterized by a high level of data quality because tuna usually grows only a few millimeters annually. Therefore, a small limestone plate (PL) used as a substrate on which TFD will be studied was scanned five times by two independent observers. Interval scans of PL were processed using Artec Studio 15 Professional. Data processing consisted of five steps. The precision assessment was determined by statistical analysis of derived sections and a colored distance map (CDM). Results showed that Artec Space Spider generates reliable results considering the characteristics of the scanned object and it certainly can be used for TFD analysis. Also, results suggested that the application of Artec Space Spider in the quantification of TFD can be regarded as a better approach in the context of measurement reliability compared to other direct and indirect methods. The subject of future research will be the precision and accuracy assessment of various 3D handheld scanners in scanning tufa formed in different temporal resolutions with various surface complexity.
