To locate reflectors
The Locate
reflectors option will display any reflectors found in a scan. Reflectors
are usually small, highly reflective regions, similar to standard survey
prisms.
- Right-click
on a scan point in a view window for the context menu and hover over Query then from the list select Locate Reflectors in <scan name>.
- When points are selected, the option is to locate a single reflector in the selection.
- When no points are selected, the option is to locate reflectors in the scan.
-
Select the number of reflectors to find by typing a number in or use the slider.
-
Select De-emphasise large bright regions to help filter out regions such as road signs.
-
Click OK or Apply.
The reflector locations will be indicated on the scan(s) with a green cross, they will be numbered and annotated and also generated in the survey container.
Note: As locating reflectors uses the topology of the scan, for best results, make sure the scan is not filtered.
Tip: These reflector locations can be used in conjunction with matching point pairs to locate scans.
