ScantraConnect

TraCo - logo

Short description

ScantraConnect is a SCENE App which connects SCENE and Scantra directly. This enables SCENE-projects to run a bundle block adjustment without the need of target points. Thereby all references and inclinometer data will be considered by Scantra. ScantraConnect applies all information in the SCENE project calculated by Scantra (www.technet-gmbh.de).
 
Scantra (www.technet-gmbh.de) is a program for automated registration of laserscan point clouds based on identical planes and points. Prior to its registration, the relative positions of the point clouds are unknown. Applying Scantra, overlapping Scans are automatically oriented with high precision and reliability. This is achieved by automatic dectection and matching of identical planes instead of target points.
 
Following the mutual orientation of the scan pairs, all point clouds are oriented via block adjustment in a common reference coordinate system.

 
 
 

ScantraConnect features:

transfers positions and inclinometer values between SCENE and Scantra (www.technet-gmbh.de)

  • export of scan transformation parameters
  • export of scan inclinometer values
  • export of tiepoints (Spheres, Checkerboards, picked Points) per Scan
  • export of references (if present)

      Workaround:
      set the transformation-matrix in SCENE to 0,0,0
      • RMB [right mouse button] on scan
      • properties
      • transformation
      • set the POSITION fields to zero
  • Since SCANTRA v2.3.2.111 (pilot-version) this is solved!
