Making a 3D-model of a Viking belt buckle using a hand held VIUscan 3D laser scanner. 3D scanning is the process of analyzing a real-world object or environment to collect three dimensional data of its shape and possibly its appearance (e.g. color). The collected data can then be used to construct digital 3D models.
Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. [1] Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers, in rapid prototyping, in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia, in confocal microscopy, in laser printers, in laser shows, in Laser TV, and in barcode scanners.
CamScanner is a Chinese mobile app first released in 2011 that allows iOS and Android devices to be used as image scanners.

This app is available free of charge on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
Fujitsu manufactures two series of image scanners: ScanSnap for consumers/SOHO, and fi for business (fi includes SP brand). [1] Popular ScanSnap models include the S1300, a feature-rich scanner that can scan double-sided color originals, [2] and the S1100, one of the world's smallest scanners.

Costco installed ID scanners at more than half of its US warehouses and says the system is working. CEO Ron Vachris said the devices help things run more smoothly — for the company and its ...
A flying-spot scanner (FSS) uses a scanning source of a spot of light, such as a high-resolution, high-light-output, low-persistence cathode ray tube (CRT), to scan an image. Usually the image to be scanned is on photographic film, such as motion picture film, or a slide or photographic plate. The output of the scanner is usually a television ...
