What is a scan fitting?

Scan fitting is a process used in 3D modeling and computer vision to align and integrate multiple scans of an object or environment into a cohesive digital representation. This technique often involves matching features, correcting for distortions, and optimizing the alignment of various point clouds or mesh data. It is widely used in applications like robotics, Virtual Reality, and cultural heritage preservation, where accurate digital replicas are essential. By ensuring that all scans fit together seamlessly, scan fitting enhances the quality and usability of the resulting 3D models.
