C2C

Post by MagicBrou »

Hey There,

Do you also have Plans for implementing c2c functions in pointcab? Because right now you have to do all the scanning with Targets to register in pointcab

Hi Julian,

thanks for the question.
There is a current time schedule to include a C2C into PointCab. We evaluate different algorithms that are needed to find proper approximate values to be able to process a C2C between two scans.
We dont like to launch something half baked, so we need a bit of more time.

Regards, Richard

That would be great, because right now we are doing c2c in Scene and if you could implement c2c with bundle adjustment would be awsaome!

that would be great, also in a commercial point of view. If the process could be more intuitif than scene you have gold in your hands. The registration with spheres works flawless.

Autodesk recap SDK could be of use.
Recap's C2C is pretty strong.

Is there any news about this?
Do you have an idea when C2C could come?

Thank you,

Hi Giovanni

there is no officiel release date for this new function at this point in time.
I will keep this thread updated if we have new information or a release schedule.

We could simply select unwanted points and disable them for registration/visualisation/ppc creation/export. You can also apply masks on filters. No need to delete points at all. ZF LC has this type of data filtering for years and it works great.

You could create edge mask, stray mask, dark point mask, user defined mask, you name it...

This solution would eliminate numerous revisions and long saving.
This doesnt exist in Scene at the moment does it...?
I know that this is also in cyclone.
Unfortunately no. That's on my wish list for the Scene. :lol:

I'll give this a bump just to keep it top of mind for FARO...this could change C2C registration a lot for us all.

I've mentioned this to countless Faro reps and they all say its coming or they're working on it. I do think that Faro shouldn't overlook the "survey grade" functionalities of Scene in the interest of simplicity. Provides for nice brochure literature to say "no targets, simple one button registration", but that will drive the discerning customers to other solutions.

C2C registration with forced honoring of survey control is a MUST HAVE for Faro and Scene. Rigid C2C bundle best fit is not a solution.
A solution for this is to register in Pointcab if you use targets and spheres. This registration goes the geodetic way. Much more convenient for anyone looking for a survey grade solution.

But most scanning companies don't care about this, it's just the nice images that count, whether they are correctly registered or not.
I seem to remember seeing something about PointCab now doing C2C...anyone got any experience with it and want to comment?
