AUTOMATIC MEASURING/DIGITIZING, HOW DOES IT WORK ?

The software automatically creates 3D points from a set of photos taken with positioned coded targets.


 

Each target is different and corresponds to a Number (it is similar to a Circular Barcode).

These Numbers are read from the photo and allow the application to automatically create 2D points on the images at the center of the target.

3D point positions are then computed from 2D points on each images and finally, the 3D points are created.

 

 

STEP-BY-STEP :

  

 Position Targets

1 - Position a coded target at each point that you want to Measure/Digitize.

 Shots

2 - Position the special coded targets representing the origin and one of the axes (if needed).

 Points rebuilt

3 - Take a series of photos of the scene and copy all these photos into an empty folder.

Final drawing

4 - Run the software, then the 3D reconstruction command and load a photo from the list. It's finished... Everything is automatic, after calculations (the time depends on the number of images but just a couple of minutes is usually sufficient), the 3D points are created.

 

5 - You can now work on the part...
