Maptek Scanner Operator Manual - XR3
Baseline scan
When receiving your scanner, it is advisable to take a baseline scan. This
scan can be used as a benchmark for future referencing of the correct
operation of the system. This enables the scanner to be checked to ensure
it is within the desired operational parameters.
For the best results, it is advisable to choose an area that will not change
over time. A workshop or office environment with fixed buildings and
structures surrounding the setup position is ideal. If this is not possible,
then capture a scene from two known locations. Take a scan of the area
from each location using the highest resolution available. Register the
scans in the accompanying software and perform a visual inspection,
ensuring good matching of common features exists.
The intention of the scan is to provide a baseline for comparison in case
the scanner is exposed to any mishaps, such as being dropped or extreme
operating conditions.
» Refer to the next sections on Scanner Operation and
Controller software instructions on how to carry out the
Baseline scan.
