Scan Manager

1238888

You can resize the Scan Manager dialog to display all columns.

Scan Manager Tab

Name – The name of the Scan Manager.

Managed by – Name of the superordinate Scan Manager.

Locked – as soon you finished your work with this cluster, you can lock its Scan Manager.

Sub Manager – List of the subordinate Scan Managers.

The Scan Manager also informs whether external references were used for the registration.

The traffic lights next to the Scan Managers indicate whether they contain good or failed Scan Fits. If a traffic light next to a Scan Manager is red, this means that this Scan Manager contains bad Scan Fits. Green means that all the quality criteria are met. Amber shows that at least one quality criterion is somewhat compromised. If there is a symbol next to a Scan Manager or a Scan Fit, this means that registration could not be executed, maybe because of missing references.

If you want to see the critical fits of a subordinate Scan Manager, double-click this Scan Manager to open it. Switch to the tab Scan Results.

Scan Results Tab

The tab Scan Results gives you a list of all Scan Fits managed by the Scan Manager and shows the overall quality of each registration. This is symbolized by a traffic light too. Double-clicking on a fit object in the list opens its properties dialog.

The average tension of each registration is calculated in the Mean Target Tension column of this table: the lower the value, the better the registration result. Here you can easily see which registrations failed or which registration results are bad (in this example the first two Scan Fits have an amber traffic light, so they seem not to be optimal). To identify the critical reference pairs which are responsible for the bad fit, you can switch to tab Ref. Tensions.

Correspondence View – opens the correspondence view with all the scans that are managed by the Scan Manager.

Correspondence Split View – opens the correspondence split view.

You can also open both views by right-clicking the cluster node in the structure view and selecting View > Correspondence View or View > Correspondence Split View.

Scan Point Errors

Tab Scan Point Errors shows all reference cluster pairs used for the scan registration.

Mean – describes the discrepancy between the two corresponding referenced clusters.

Full Hierarchy – When activated, the reference pairs of all >s will be displayed.

Overall Statistics

You can go directly to a scan point error by double-clicking it. The corresponding view is opened and the connection is highlighted.

Target Tensions Tab

Tab Target Tensions shows all reference pairs used for registration, sorted by their tension.

Tension – describes the discrepancy in the global coordinate system between the position and the orientation of the two corresponding reference objects Scan 1 and Scan 2. With reference points in the distance between the positions of the two reference points serves as input for the calculation of the tension. With planes, slabs or pipes the position and the direction of the objects serve as input for the calculation of this value.

Values close to zero indicate a good registration result. Here, you can easily identify reference pairs which are causing problems in the registration. Clicking on the scan name selects the corresponding reference in this scan, double-clicking opens the reference’s properties.

Full Hierarchy – When activated, the reference pairs of all > will be displayed.

Weighted Statistics

You can go directly to a target tension error by double-clicking it. The corresponding view is opened and the selected object is highlighted. If you right-click a target tension in the Scan Manager and select Locate in <scan_name>, you can locate the target tension in the scan you want.
