Moving toward feature parity of Leica Cyclone CORE and Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360

User Coordinate System (UCS) and Control

Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 - USC & Control

这是一系列专注于带旋风注册360的专家见解中的第一个into alignment with the popular toolset of Cyclone CORE. Thesecond in this series重点on的差距s that exist in the realm of unstructured data support

Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360于2017年发行,最初是Leica RTC3603D Reality Capture Solution. Since that time, it has become the registration product of choice for both new users joining the world of reality capture, as well as a significant portion of our legacy users who first began working with reality capture data inLeica Cyclone REGISTER(CORE). Nevertheless, Cyclone CORE has remained an integral part of many users’ workflow due to its unparalleled ability to handle massive datasets and complex registrations.

在过去的四年中,Cyclone寄存器360与其原始功能集相距甚远,两种产品之间存在的差距正在迅速缩小。bob综合app下载在这个专家洞察力中,我讨论了旋风登记册360中最近进行的一些改进,这些改进正在缩小旋风核心和旋风分离器寄存器360之间的差距,以及一些您可以期待将来发行版的一些改进。

The majority of users find the simple User Coordinate System (UCS) and Control features of Cyclone REGISTER 360 to be sufficient, however users who need support of the Traverse workflow, or more flexibility of target section and application, find Cyclone CORE is the better choice. For professional surveyors the need for more comprehensive tools demands the advanced tools of Cyclone CORE, whereas the georeferencing tools in Cyclone REGISTER 360 work well for rotating a single bundle on Control or setting a local UCS on a bundle, for example in the case of a plant or other facility.

Cyclone CORE remains the gold standard for both UCS and Control features. offering survey-grade control leveraging all available functions on Leica Geosystems scanners (DAC, traverse etc.). By design, the UCS and Control feature set in Cyclone REGISTER 360 are much simpler. Cyclone REGISTER 360 has the ability to apply georeferencing to a group or bundle of setups or individual setups. This is achieved by importing a text file that is pre-formatted with at least three coordinates that correspond to targets in a setup/bundle.

Cyclone REGISTER 360 also has the ability to apply a UCS to a setup or bundle. Setting Z level combined with setting X axis or Y axis allows the users to apply the desired UCS in most cases. Setting Z level is supported by forming a ground plane and then setting the Z axis or “Up Direction” per setup. Setting the X or Y axis can be achieved by creating a plane on a wall or by using the corner plane creator as shown in image 3.

随着2020.1旋风寄存器360的发布,我们引入了几个功能,这些功能将允许旋风寄存器360到取代旋风核心,以获得更高级的UCS和控制工作流。以下所有功能旨在将现有的Cyclone Core功能带入旋风寄存器360中,同时保留软件的简单性。这些包括:

Georeferencing features:

  • Apply control to single setup orLeica Blk2go走:
    This feature allows the application of Control to a single setup or walk. Previously, at least two setups or walks were required.
  • Use of multiple Control files:
    Now multiple Control files can be imported and used, allowing for multiple coordinate systems in a project.
  • Snap to control in SiteMap:
    现在,进口到旋风寄存器360中的所有设置和捆绑包将在SiteMap和3D顶部观看台上捕捉到向上或北方方向。
  • 对齐捆绑包至没有标签的捆绑包(与目标的几何形状匹配):
    Target labels, in setups or bundles, are no longer necessary when applying control. The relationship is calculated automatically using geometry matching.

UCS features:

  • Set Level or the Z axis by plane:
    此功能允许用户在地板或平面表面上创建平面,并设置“向上”方向或Z轴,从而为设置或捆绑包建立水平。

  • Set UCS by plane:
    用户可以在墙上创建平面并设置X或Y轴。

  • Set UCS by pic:
    允许用户选择任何点云点并输入所需的坐标以转换捆绑包或设置。

  • Set UCS pick and plane, by pick and corner
  • Create a UCS in Cloud Viewer:
    Allow the user to set a UCS from a 3D view of the point cloud. Previously only 2D view and UCS creation was allowed.

  • 区域成长为识别室角以分配坐标的角落:
    Allows the user to automatically create corner planes and establish a corner coordinate for UCS creation.

  • UCS创建的易于使用的对话框:
    Guided workflow dialog for easier operation of the new UCS features.

Future releases will see further improvements to these two workflows including flexible control file import, setting UCS by selection of Targets, setting UCS by line creation (i.e. line drawn on the bottom of a wall) and applying control using target heights.

旋风里吉斯添加这些特性的目标TER 360 is to reach complete parity between Cyclone REGISTER 360 and Cyclone CORE to support established users in making the switch but also to introduce new users to the powerful benefits that these advanced features can have on their accuracy and efficiency. Cyclone REGISTER 360, while more powerful in visual registration and import, still needs to be updated with all the relevant features in Cyclone CORE to give our customers flexibility but still maintain ease of use. We are committed to reaching the stage of feature parity in the coming years in order to bring all users over to our next generation products and focus all of our development efforts on Cyclone REGISTER 360.

Many current Cyclone REGISTER 360 users may believe that advanced UCS and Control workflows are unnecessary for their work, however we believe that all users can benefit from these tools.

使用地理发布可以在注册中转换3D坐标。应用程序包括在虚拟地球仪(类似于Google Earth)上定位注册,或将注册与另一组在现实世界坐标中的数据相结合,同样,GeoreChorped的数据支持许多工厂和制造环境应用程序,对于匹配至关重要协调点云和3D模型之间的系统。

Advanced UCS tools provide an easy way to create an alternate coordinate system. Applications include making the building or plant square to the screen for line drawing in CAD, matching to plant or building coordinate systems, and creating multiple UCS’s to help with modeling in third-party software.

Despite the great strides that Cyclone REGISTER 360 has made in the last releases to close the gap with Cyclone CORE, there remain key differences that must be addressed before complete parity can be achieved.

项目的规模气旋注册360 will continue to be improved. As of the 2021.0.0 release, Cyclone REGISTER 360 can handily work with projects up to 2,000 setups. The objective is to reach support for up to 5,000 setups per project. In a similar vein, referencing projects together without having to merge them will allow for large data handling while preserving the usability of Cyclone REGISTER 360.

对新的激光扫描仪和新格式的支持将仍然是Cyclone登记量360开发的关键重点,并着眼于支持用于移动扫描的非结构化数据格式。LAS和其他ASCII格式的点云将得到支持。同时,将追求进口速度的改进。

Likewise, additional export formats and speed improvements will be seen on the downstream side of the Cyclone REGISTER 360 workflow.

但是,由于旋风寄存器360的收益功能,因此其易用性不会受到损害。我们不仅致力于将工具从旋风核心转移到旋风寄存器360,还致力于通过在可能的情况下利用智能自动化来提高其可用性,并依靠无法自动化的指导工作流和基于向导的对话框。
