fullsystemcalibrationscanwiththesameRicohThetaZ1camerathatisusedforthescanproject.The
calibrationdataissharedacrossallprojectsforoneuser.
Forbestresults:
l PowerontheFocusscannerandRicohThetaZ1cameraapproximately15minutesbeforethefull
systemcalibrationscansotheycanreachoperatingtemperature.
l Performthecalibrationscaninanindoorenvironment,suchasanoffice,oraroom.
l Wallsshouldbeaminimumof~6feet(2meters)andamaximumof~16feet(5meters)fromthe
scanner.
l Objectsand/orpatternsshouldbedistributedaroundthefloor,wallsandceiling.
l Avoidcalibratinginroomswithplainwhitewalls,darkenvironments,ormovementsuchasopening
doors,peoplemovingaround,ceilingfans,etc.
l Makesurethattherearenoreflectivesurfacessuchasmirrors,orglasswallsinthescanner'sfieldof
view.
l Thescanner/tripodassemblymustbesetuponaneven,solidfloor.
Ifthecalibrationscandoesnothavepropercoloroverlay,repeatthesystemcalibrationandprocessingin
Scene
Repeatthecalibrationprocedureinthefollowingcircumstances:
l Ifyouareusingadifferentcameraorscannerotherthatthepairwhichwerefullycalibrated,previously
l Priortoscanningprojectsthatwillcontainmanyscans.
l Whenscancolorslackquality.
l Whenscanninginenvironmentswithextensivetemperaturevariations,orlow/hightemperatures.
l Ifthemountingbracketismovedorbumped.
l Ifcoloroverlayresultsshowerrors
Thecalibrationprocesscreatesa1/5/2xqualityscanthatincludestwoPanoCampictures,andaninternal
cameracolorcapturewithevenweightedmetering.Thefullsystemcalibrationprocesstakesabout3.5
minutes.
SCENEstoressystemcalibrationandscancalibrationdatainafolderonyoursystemdrive:
Users\...\AppData\Local\FARO\SCENE\Store
CAUTION: Donotdeleteoreditthedatainthatfolder.Ifthedataisdeletedoraltered,anewcalibration
isrequired.IncorrectdatacancauseorerrorsorunexpectedresultsinSCENE.
