Can someone please share the method of doing the scan of a large object. I want to scan all the markers first and then do the scan. When you select global markers from the software, do you scan the first five markers, then press pause, move the tracker then press continue until you have measured all the markers, then press cloud scan to start the scan. I tried, but got a scan with definite errors in the model.
With the normal method using the manual, it does not quite make sense. If you have five markers in the first group of markers, then when you move it, what is the minimum number of common markers from the first station must be included in the second station?
In the example video of scanning a car, they did the global markers first, but did not give an indication of what they were doing with the software.
Logically, to me, there should be a reasonable number of common markers between the setup stations that are common to extend the scan and not add errors by using short baseline of points to base the second scan on.
If using the marker blocks supplied with the scanner, and say putting them on the side of a vehicle. If you set the scanner looking from the front of the vehicle to the rear at an angle to extend the scanning area, the you are looking at one side of the marker blocks, if you then move the tracker towards the rear, then you are looking at the other side of the marker blocks that was not visible in the first scan. How do we avoid this? Would it not be a good idea to be able to scan the other side of the marker blocks when doing the scan and include these in the global marker file. You could then include the markers on the shadow side of the marker block in the calculation, enabling you to use them on the next setup.
any advice would be appreciated
