Improved V i sua l i sat ion – Color Ba lanc ing

Color Balancing

During the creation of the project point cloud, there is now the possibility to apply a color balancing algorithm. Color balancing tries to smooth the transition between overlapping scans which show different color tints. This different color tints typically result from slightly different lighting conditions at the different scan positions.

Improved V i sua l i sat ion – Super Sampl ing

Super Sampling

Super Sampling is an option of SCENEs 3D View. When activated, SCENE is rendering the data for the 3D view in a higher resolution than your screen (2x, 3x or 4x higher) in the background. Before brought to display, this data is filtered and the resolution is adjusted to your screen size. In effect this will produce more crisp 3D view output which lets you see more details. Stray points and other artifacts are widely reduced.

Homogeni sat ion for Po intC louds

Homogenization for Point Clouds

During the creation of scan point clouds or project point clouds, the new homogenization feature eliminates scan points which are closer than 1,5mm. While this does not result in a visual difference compared to not homogenized point clouds, this process reduces the file size by about 20% in average (depending on the specific scan data).

This reduction in the number of scan points will also improve the efficiency of exporting scan data from 3D view and importing it into 3rd party software.

Improved V i sua l i sat ion – Auto C lus te r ing

Auto Clustering

The Auto Clustering feature helps you to register scans which could not be done automatically by SCENE. Even if a set of scans cannot be placed together completely by SCENE, in many cases there will be groups of scans which already fit together.

Once Auto Clustering is activated, SCENE will try to identify those groups of scans and sort them into separate scan clusters. Additionally those clusters will be moved away from each other. In the Correspondence View, those clusters are easily identifiable and allow you to arrange a smaller number of groups instead of a bigger number of single scans.

Mult i Cl ipping Boxes

Multi Clipping Boxes

Once you have defined a Clipping Box in SCENE, the new command “Create Clipping Boxes along an axis” allows you to create copies of the initial Clipping Box. The dialog box of this command gives you the option to decide in which direction those copies should be created as well as how many copies should be made and the distance between the boxes.

As a result, SCENE will create a folder, named as specified in the dialog box, which consists of the initial Clipping Box as well as of all copies. In 3D View, the folder will be shown as a bounding box around all Clipping Boxes. The whole set of boxes may be modified as well as the single Clipping Boxes.

Mult i Orthophoto

Multi Orthophoto

The orthophoto tool allows you know to create orthophotos of a set of Clipping Boxes in one step. To do so, select a folder of Clipping Boxes instead of a single box. The new Multi Clipping Box feature for example is automatically creating such a folder for a set of parallel Clipping Boxes.

Once you have selected a folder of Clipping Boxes, the orthophototool will use the resolution and scale settings to create one orthophoto per Clipping Box.

Speed up of Feature Detection

The algorithms for detection of natural features (corner points, planes, rectangles) have been improved.

Fine Registration improved (now based on the full scans)

Fine Registration in SCENE 5.2 is now using the full scans to optimize the tensions between the scans.

Fast 3D Selections and Export (up to 50x faster than 5.1!)

The performance of 3D selections and export of point cloud data from 3D View has been improved remarkably.

Improved handling of surveyed references

SCENE 5.2 is no more creating copies of the global “References” folder in the scan clusters. All surveyed references are stored in and retrieved from the global “References” folder.

New measurement unit: US survey feet

SCENE 5.2 is now offering US survey feet as additional unit for the display of dimension as well as for the export of point cloud data.
