Ok,
so I connected Metro to new Revoscan MetroX - updated firmware on the scanner, Revoscan Metro X version is 5.6.1.82, so the newest there is.
Everything works fine I guess.
I have created my own tracking objects (black with reflective markers all over). They are mostly covered in the 3mm markers - I also added a few 6mm markers on them.
Q1. Is there any reason NOT to mix marker sizes? They seem to work fine on both MetroX and Miraco but maybe the tracking algorithm assumes that all visible markers are the same size?
Q2. Marker mode + Full Field
I tracked Full Field in feature mode - it works.
I tracked Cross lines and Parallel lines in marker mode - it works
I tracked the marker cloud in global marker mode - it works.
But when Iâm trying to scan Full Field mode in marker mode - the scanner doesnât see the markers - they blip in and out, mostly the larger 6mm ones, but I never see enough of them to actually make a scan.
Is there something unique about Full Field Marker mode?
Does it require 6mm trackers?
Thatâs really weird behavior .
I have different sizes of markers on my plate but the markers should be not closer than 3 cm from each other , make sure you have a proper angle of the scanner to markers . Take it in s hand and run above the markets and see how it responds.
No, it also sees 3mm ones but you need to be closer.
From what I understand, the markers are registered when they are illuminated by the scanner light - thatâs why they are reflective.
Laser lines are much brighter that the full field light - probably thatâs why lasers have an easier time âseeingâ the small markers.
Not really a problem, just a good to know
I donât think im laser line mode the scanner detects the markers using the laser reflection. That wouldnât work as a marker would not be a circle but a line. Maybe itâs the other way round: The strong and structured laser light in full field mode might confuse the marker detector.
That being said, I havenât experienced issues with full field marker mode. But I only used 6mm dots.
When you guys scan different size markers do you see different sizes markers in your cloud and scans? I only see one size for both 3 & 6mm markers. It would be nice to be able to use 3, 6, and 10mm markers and have them all recognized. I would think that would help with tracking as well.
