NoteAt the time of writing, a web portal version of KIRI Engine is soon to be released for Premium subscription users. It will then be possible to easily upload any set of photos from your computer.
Thus, the 70-photo limit is quite alright for small and simple objects (up to 30x30cm), and I feel that you can definitely optimize the way you take photos to use the least possible. If you need to scan larger objects, or ones with a lot of different geometries and overhangs, you will probably need to go Premium.
The same goes for most of my scans, like the plant below (downloaded as-is, with zero post-processing). I placed it on the floor in the middle of our living room (with all our furniture and decorations) and the app really focused on the plant.
However, KIRI recently released a beta feature called AI Object Masking. After you take your pictures and get to the next screen/step, you toggle this option so that the algorithms know that the background is fixed and the object is moved, not the other way around.
One thing I would have liked to see in the app is a basic model editing interface to clip planes and fill holes, for example. You can use free software to do this at a later stage on your computer, though, with free options like Meshmixer (Windows only) or MeshLab.
As you can tell from the previous sections, the KIRI team often releases updates, fixes, and new features. I found that Jack and Chris were always attentive to user feedback, and not just mine as a reviewer.
KIRI Engine surprised me several times. It can produce some excellent colored scans, with a great level of detail and little to no artifacts, in minutes, for free, without requiring an expensive PC.
Kevin from YouTube channel Product Design Online also carried out a review of KIRI Engine and scanned the demo statue that comes with a low-cost 3D scanner from another brand (such as the Revopoint POP which we reviewed a few months ago). Having scanned the same statue with the POP, I can confirm that the result Kevin got with KIRI Engine is excellent.
Last but not least, this is one of my favorites, from Santiago Ogazn Fernndez (@santiagoogazon on Instagram). He 3D scanned his father and built on the resulting 3D model to create this piece of 3D art.
Summary: Really good experience, even the free version gives the same results as the pay version. I like that they have focused in on using AI to improve scan quality as I don't scan a lot and it takes a while to relearn scanning tools if I have to manually adjust the scans.
Positive: The scan quality is comparable to high end commercial scanners yet you can use your phone.
They have multiple techniques including AI powered Nerfs (neural radiance fields), photogrammetry and Lidar.
You can upload drone photos.
It seems they have an app update every week that keeps improving quality.
Negative: You have just one free download of a model u scanned, if you've not bought the pro version , I really would wish to get like every 2 weeks the opportunity to scan and download models! So every two weeks you get an extra coupon!
a few months had passed by and the sully family had become accustomed to your oceanic culture. during the training of the children, you grew closer to kiri and absentmindedly you peeked at her interests, allowing her to come out of her shell. her peculiar personality was the first thing that truly intrigued you into becoming friends with her. she was more reserved, quiet, soft-hearted, and observant, unlike the rest of her siblings who were outgoing and loud.
at that moment, your beady eyes connected with her yellow ones, holding a communication that goes beyond words and actions. she was your safe haven and you just prayed to ewya that you were hers as well.
discovering a moody kiri was a daily occurrence for anyone she encountered, but with a frustrated and depressed kiri was highly rare. seeing as she only spills her true feelings to her loved ones; being more specific, you.
it was mid-day when she interrupted your plaiting time, in which you spent countless hours weaving body accessories for children who kindly asked for it to be done. her posture remained confident despite her wavering voice as tears brimmed the corners of her eyes.

Chair Dr. Maria Tsakiri, Greece
Web site of the Task force:
Task Force 6.1.3 was newly formed at the 11th International Symposium held on Santorini Island in May 2003. Dr. Maria Tsakiri, from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece put forward a proposal to form a task force for the purpose of studying terrestrial laser scanning techniques for deformation uses. Although the task force is newly formed, the research directions and objectives are laid out here.
The primary objective of this Task Force is to promote the use of terrestrial laser scanning as a recognised tool for spatial data capture in engineering projects. More specifically, the group will aim to advance the use of this new technology for geometric documentation and deformation monitoring in a variety of environments, particularly those at high risk and in need of remote measurements (e.g. structures, slopes, underground surveys, structural deformations of cultural heritage monuments). Further objectives are to investigate the integration of laser scanning measurements with other measuring techniques, such as conventional geodetic systems and photogrammetric techniques, and to explore the 3D modelling and visualisation issues of laser scanning data. Also, the group aims to investigate quality control and metrological aspects of the laser scanner data in order to provide recommendations for checking that the terrestrial laser scanner instrument is working correctly prior to its use as well as recommendations on its field use regarding issues such as data collection, storage, instrument independent exchange data format, use of targets for registration etc.
At the time of writing this report (January 2004) the chair of the group has finalised the regular members and is creating a Task Force website which will provide a focus for terrestrial laser scanning research with links to member's websites. It will also include a comprehensive reference list for terrestrial laser scanning studies that will be regularly updated as this technology is rapidly progressing. Also, the site aims to include a number of standardised terrestrial laser data sets to allow comparison between different software and processing methods.
While three-dimensional laser scanning systems have been used for years in high precision, small-scale industrial metrology applications as well as for airborne surveys, the use of laser scanning for large-scale (i.e. greater than a few meters in horizontal range) ground-based measurement operations is still in its infancy. Little published research considers high precision, three-dimensional resolution of ground or structural movement. Several commercial terrestrial laser-imaging systems have been recently released. These have ranges of up to 350m and can acquire up to 20,000 points per second. These imaging systems provide a user with a dense set of three-dimensional vectors to unknown points relative to the scanner location. The volume of points and high sampling frequency (a full scan can be captured in few minutes) of laser scanning offers users an unprecedented density of spatial information. For this reason, there is enormous potential for use of this instrumentation in monitoring applications where such dense data sets could provide great insight into the nature of structural deformations for risk assessment, change detection and structural model validation.
Two main factors influence the growth of users in engineering and surveying applications, one being the often wide gap between the commercially available scanners and the traditional surveying instruments which users are familiar with and secondly, the effective management and processing of laser scanner data. Furthermore, the emergence of laser scanning in engineering and surveying has led the need for the development of the necessary calibration protocol and the requirements for quality control assessment not only for the instruments but also for the data collection and field procedures.
One area where terrestrial laser scanning has been accepted as a very useful tool is in cultural heritage, as it is a natural progression from photogrammetry and the two technologies do possess many similarities. Applications vary from detailed documentation and 3D modelling to close-range structural recording (Boehler et al. 2003a, b, Barber et al. 2002, Ioannidis & Tsakiri 2003, Tsakiri et al. 2003). On the other hand, most commercially available laser scanning systems make little attempt to integrate well into existing field survey practice, although many users such as the mining industry would benefit greatly from remote surveying tools.
A critical area of any new technology is the control check of the performance and metrological aspects of the instrumentation and field operation. Experiments to define the mechanical-optical stability of a number of instruments have indicated that the large weight of the currently available commercial laser scanners may be affecting a number of mechanical parameters such as eccentricity of axis (Ingensand et al. 2003).
