Figure 53: Normal exposure time: Laser line bright but not saturated. No background
visible.
Figure 54: Too long exposure time: Laser line wide and saturated. The background is
visible.
3. Set RegionSelector to Region1.
4. Set the ExposureTime parameter to the same value as for Region0.
✓
This will give the 3D acquisition the same exposure time as the 2D image.
NOTE
If reflectance measurements are enabled, the exposure time can also be adjusted
using a reflectance image as reference. For details, see "Setting exposure time
using reflectance", page 64.
9.2.7.2 Setting the DetectionThreshold parameter
Workflow step: Data collection
Prerequisites: Focus and exposure time have been adjusted for best image quality.
1. Turn the laser off.
2. Click Start to start the collection of 3D image data.
✓
Since the laser is turned off, only noise will be visible in the image.
3. Open the Parameter editor and select the Scan3dControl category.
4. Take a snapshot of the 3D image and adjust the DetectionThreshold parameter in
the following way:
°
If there is much noise in the image, increase the DetectionThreshold value.
°
If there is no noise in the image, decrease the DetectionThreshold value.
5. Repeat the previous step until DetectionThreshold has a low value without excessive
visible noise.
6. Turn the laser on.
9.2.7.3 Setting sensor region
Workflow step: Image
To adjust the height and position of the sensor region that is used to generate the 3D
image data (Region1, see "Extraction regions", page 33), follow the steps below.
