Turn this ON to automatically detect planes in the uploaded scans. This setting
can improve a target based registration.
Enable Colorization
Turn this ON to enable the colorization of the uploaded scans.

Registration The Registration settings determine the method used to align and join the
uploaded scans to each other in SCENE.
No Registration
Select this to skip the registration step.
Target based
Select this option to perform a target based registration for the uploaded
scans. The target based registration uses targets to place the scans. In
general, this could be artificial targets (for example, spheres, checkerboards)
or natural targets. Please enable the corresponding settings in the Processing
section for this type of registration.
Top view based
Select this to perform a top view based registration. This method is sufficient in
most cases and does not require additional targets.
Cloud to Cloud
Select this option to perform a cloud to cloud registration. This method can be
used to refine the registration of scans. It can be very time consuming.
Top view based + Cloud to Cloud
Select this option to perform a top view based registration followed by a cloud
to cloud registration.
Network Settings The following settings define the network address of the computer running
SCENE.
