The scanner’s sensor data that will be used during registration:

Sensor data can only be used if the sensors were enabled during scanning.

Use Inclinometer

Normally, inclinometer data is available and used by default to level the scans during registration.

Leveling ensures that the z-axis of the registered scan corresponds to the z-axis defined by the inclinometer. By this technique one reference can be replaced during registration. When registering with inclinometer data, this will be used as fully-trusted information and all other registration objects will be used with lower priority.

Use Compass

If the scans were recorded with a FARO Focus Laser Scanner equipped with a built-in compass, orientation information is available for the single scans. Enable this option to use this information as auxiliary information for the correspondence search. If the correspondence search cannot find any correspondences that are consistent with the compass data, this may be an indicator that the compass was influenced by environmental interference and the compass data will be ignored. If you disable this option, no compass data will be used for correspondence search.

Expert Settings

Move cluster to the center of its scans

When you create a new cluster in the correspondence view, it is shown at the center of the scans displayed on the screen. However, if you add some of the displayed scans to the cluster, it may happen that the cluster is not shown at the center of these scans. If this option is activated, the cluster is automatically moved to the center of its scans. If it is deactivated, a message is shown in which you can confirm that the cluster should be moved to the center of its scans.

Note that this does not change the global position of the clusters or scans but only the representation on the screen.

Auto Clustering

SCENE may not be able to find a spatial relationship between all scans in your scan project and only groups of scans can be registered to each other. The registration internally recognizes which scans can be registered correctly and which can not. All groups of correctly registered scans are automatically arranged in appropriate sub-clusters (named Cluster1, Cluster2 etc.).
